Now a rugged local fisherman with his own burdens, Callum isn’t the same young man she left behind.When the two are drawn together to save the struggling bait shop from closing, old sparks begin to flicker once more. But the past is never far behind, and neither is the pain that drove Ellie away in the first place.As summer deepens, Ellie must decide if the life she ran from is the one she was always meant to live. Sometimes the greatest adventure isn’t found in faraway places, but in returning to where your heart belongs.
