As she explores the island, Donna discovers the type of freedom she hasn't felt in years. And she wants more of it. Somerset is beautiful, welcoming and a far cry from her midwestern hometown. Donna is smitten with the island and its people…well, all but one. Garrett Moore, the gruff and rugged harbor master, is the no-nonsense authority of Somerset Harbor. He’s sailed across the world and has the scars to prove it. Despite their initial clashes, Donna finds herself drawn to his forbidding presence.

Will she have the courage to take the next step and follow her heart or continue on the same path as her mother?

Out of his secret affair, she found a new beginning, but leaving was the hard part. Donna Hughes centered her life on family and an imperfect marriage to a successful attorney. After over 20 years of matrimony, he wants more and serves her divorce papers on the day of her mother’s funeral.

Working with her was bad, but living with him was worse and he can’t imagine life without her. Donna Hughes, a newcomer to the island, is finally free and moving forward with her new life in the town of Somerset. Co-owning a business with a silent partner gives her unimagined independence. He rarely comes into the cafe and leaves the day-to-day operations to her. After settling into her charming rented guest house near the beach, a historic winter storm sends a tree crashing through the roof. Now she has no choice but to stay in the main house with her business partner. During the renovations, she holds fast to her secret. If he even suspects the truth, her time in Somerset will end. Garrett hates the way he feels when Donna’s around. Running the harbor and handling rowdy boaters is a piece of cake compared to managing his irksome feelings for her. Keeping his distance while she runs the business and rents out his guest house was the perfect solution. He had it figured out until a winter storm slammed a tree through the roof of the guest house. Donna’s shivering lips and distressed face nipped at his heart. He had no choice but to offer his home. She’d only have to stay with him for a couple of weeks, right? He’s lived on a boat for longer than that. One renovation snag after another makes her stay longer than expected. As the situation unravels, the truth about the business and their feelings comes to light. And it might be the end of a beautiful beginning in this grumpy hero office romance.
