Heather has the business, the friends, and the difficult cat. What she does not have is an explanation for why her ex moving on has knocked the floor out from under her. Her answer is a plan: build more connections, starting with the stranger who may be the father she has never met.

The distance between them opened the day he told her they were not ready for a baby, and closing it again will take more honesty than either of them has managed in years.

Susan Mallery returns to Blackberry Island with three women, three plans, and the reliable discovery that happiness rarely arrives in the shape you scheduled for it.
