In this steamy contemporary romance about family, unforeseen circumstances, and unexpected love, an ex-military man and a down-on-her-luck woman find more than they bargained for when they find each other.

When Chad Young moves home, it's not a decision he makes lightly. A former military man, he doesn't make any decision lightly. But his father's passing has left the family--and their business--reeling. Now more than ever, they need to stick together.

Britt Starkweather moved to Maine with her boyfriend, never imagining he'd abandon her there. With no money and nowhere to go, she accepts the Youngs' offer of a job and room on their property. What more does she have to lose?

Although they just met, Chad makes Britt feel safe in a way no one has before. And she makes him feel things he'd given up on finding. But even as they grow closer, Britt realizes that something is amiss at Lobster Cove...and Chad will do whatever it takes to keep her safe.
