I moved back to this peaceful small-town island to raise my son. Until my biggest regret steps onto my boat, and she’s the one storm I never saw coming.
Quinn:
My life is simple—my son, my dive shop, and the quiet rhythm of Sandpiper Cay. As a single dad, my priority is giving my boy the stability he deserves. What I don’t need is a complication.
The last person I ever expected to see again is Steph McIntyre. Eight years ago, my carelessness nearly cost her everything. Including her life. It cost me her, and that loss has haunted me ever since.
Old passion roars to life. Our connection is a spark that time couldn’t extinguish, but the ashes of our past are everywhere. My life has changed. My sweet boy is the best thing in my lonely world. Now I'm torn between the woman I can't forget and the son I'll do anything to protect.
This is my one shot at redemption. Can I prove I’m not the same man who broke her heart, or are we in too deep to ever find our way back?
