A runaway bride.
A quiet New England coastal town.
A family secret about to be exposed.

When Cricket arrives in Runaway Cove with only a wedding gown and a rental car in someone else's name, she fulfills a promise to her teenaged self: to see the ocean.

She has no family to speak of, and everything she's known for two years is tied up with the man she left at the altar. She'll have to start over with nothing.

When Miranda and her children discover Cricket in her wedding dress on the beach, the last thing they need is another disaster. Miranda's once amicable divorce has gone belly up, and Kyle is visiting their children less and less.

But her teen daughter takes an instant liking to Cricket, determined to help her get a job in their small community. It's the most light Miranda's seen in Cecilia's eyes in months. So they take the young woman in.

Vicky has been running her coffee shop, Runaway Perk, since her mother died forty years ago. She's eager to hire Cricket and get some help, but when a young man arrives in Runaway Cove to visit his father's old haunts and takes a shine to her new employee, Vicky realizes he is the key to unlocking her long-held secret, one that will tear their peaceful community apart.
