From Wall Street Journal bestselling author Terri Osburn comes a bittersweet romance about discovering the past, if only to finally let it go.
Author Liza Teller's new book is something of a mystery. She's been hired to ghostwrite the memoir of Ray Wallis, an elderly stranger eager to share a very personal and surprising life story. The moment Liza arrives on beautiful Haven Island off the South Carolina coast, she has to ask: Out of all the semi-successful writers with stalled careers in the world, why her?
Kendall James, the dedicated ex-military man in Ray's employ, has the same question. Why is this New Yorker in a frilly blue dress so important to Ray? But as protective and suspicious as he is, Kendall can't help falling for the tempting outsider. And he isn't falling alone.
As Ray's life story unfolds, Liza and Kendall's chemistry ignites. And all of it could be explosive. On an island this small, Liza soon discovers that there isn't much room to hide — from the secrets of Ray's past or from her desire for a man unwilling to give her the one thing she truly wants.
