Passed over for a promotion she has more than earned, workaholic Boston attorney Deirdra de Messiéres takes a two-month hiatus and heads home to Silver Island, determined to prove to her boss just how much he needs her. Home, however, holds little appeal beyond seeing her sisters happy: she has no interest in the family Bistro, no desire to relive painful childhood memories, and absolutely no patience for Josiah "Jagger" Jones, the restaurant's too-laid-back musician and chef. Sure, the free-spirited hippie who lives in a van with his dog is undeniably hot, but he drives buttoned-up Deirdra crazy. Then a chance encounter turns into a long, honest conversation, and night after liberating night, Deirdra lets her guard down with the one man who is nothing like her. The trouble is neither of them plans to stay: Jagger is ruled by wanderlust, and Deirdra has a career waiting back in the city. They are on entirely different paths, and a real future together seems impossible. Set on the sandy shores of Silver Island, this is a funny, emotional, steamy opposites-attract romance about guarded hearts, family, and rediscovering what truly matters most.
