After almost three years, cop-turned-naturalist Clint Nolan is beginning to think of Starfish Bay in Northern California as home. The tiny town is a world away from the tragedy he left behind in the East, and his demons and self-recriminations are subsiding. He might even consider a new romantic relationship if the right woman comes along.

But Kristen Fletcher isn't that woman. New to town, the concierge at the upscale Inn at The Point reminds him too much of his former love. He can tolerate her as a tenant, but he intends to walk a wide circle around her personally.

Yet his plans change when Kristen's world suddenly spins out of control and Clint finds himself being pulled into her life-and wondering if she might be the woman who was intended for him all along.

In this HOLT Medallion winner, Irene Hannon pens a hope-filled, uplifting tale about second chances, new beginnings-and the power of love to heal hurting hearts.
