Summary

Ellen Markowitz loves being an OB-GYN—and she's fallen hard for Shelter Rock Cove, the charming coastal village she's called home for the last three years. That's not the only thing she's fallen hard for...but her crush on Dr. Hall Talbot was supposed to stay a secret.

And it did...until her half-sister, Deirdre, shows up on her doorstep, needing a place to crash. Ellen has learned the hard way that nothing is quite the way it seems—not family and certainly not love. But during one magical summer, Ellen will discover that hope and love can sneak back into the heart when least expected...
