Jeannie MacPherson left her ice cream empire to find peace on a rustic Maine island. Instead she found irascible Matthew Connelly, recovering from a suspicious gunshot wound.

It didn’t help that he was drop-dead gorgeous. Or that he was just as reluctantly attracted to her as she was to him. Connelly had secrets, and Jeannie didn’t trust him.

But that wasn’t enough to keep her away from him. Or to keep her from following him when he left without warning.

Neither of them wanted to fall in love. But sometimes fate has other plans.
