Becca Trevor never planned to see Jack Wolfe again. But fate—and fire—have other ideas...

After losing her job, her boyfriend, and her apartment in one disastrous week, Becca Trevor retreats home to St. Caroline for what she's calling Operation: Figure Out Her Life. So far, it's not going well. Case in point: her first night back, she gets trapped inside her mother's quilt shop as it goes up in flames.

Worse? She's rescued by none other than Jack Wolfe—the man she thought she'd left in the past for good.

Jack was once the golden boy of St. Caroline—Ivy League bound and destined for a glittering legal career far away from his family's legacy in the fire department. Now he's back for the summer under the guise of helping out with a family emergency. What no one knows is that Jack's high-flying career in California didn't exactly pan out—and he's determined to keep that secret under wraps.

Avoiding each other should be easy. Their mothers are best friends. The town is tiny. And the heat between them? Still very much a thing. But Becca is hiding a secret too—one that could change everything for both of them, forever.

Come home to the Chesapeake Bay with this heartfelt small-town romance about second chances, family ties, and the secrets we keep to protect the ones we love.
