      Trapped between loss and love...

      Laura Kelly wanted to leave everything back in San Francisco. Her broken heart. The loss of her unborn child. Instead, her grief followed her here...to an island paradise in the Caribbean. Along with a neighbour who, despite his handsomeness, insists on being a complete pain in her city-girl backside.

      That is, until Laura learns that Mark Tanner’s grumpy demeanor is hiding a terrible grief of his own. Instead of declaring war, Laura and Mark work together to restore an old boat, igniting an unlikely friendship—and an attraction neither of them expected. But sometimes all a broken heart needs is a little hope...and the possibility of new love.

      “I’d rather have a seasoned woman any day of the week.”

      Did Mark mean her? Was he...flirting?

      Laura glanced at the bottle in his hand, hesitating. What would one more round really hurt, anyway? Mark seemed to sense her indecision.

      He waggled the beer in front of her. “Come on. How miserable are you, really? Just two beers miserable? Because that’s hardly miserable at all.”

      She had to laugh at that. She was far more than two beers miserable.

      “Fine,” she said and grabbed the bottle from his hand. “You win.”

      He chuckled and took another swig of his beer as she started on hers. She’d just stay for one more.

      Besides...what was the worst that could happen?
