Allison Curtis knows she’s the luckiest woman in New England when she accepts the proposal of the wealthy and charming bachelor, Cabot Wilder. But when his socialite mother insists on planning the fall wedding, Allison accepts her best friend’s pleas to spend the summer with her on picturesque Harper’s Island, off the Maine coast. There she’ll be able to relax and calm her pre-wedding jitters.
But from the moment of her arrival, Allison’s days are anything but calm. She repeatedly crosses paths with the disturbingly handsome lobsterman, Brent Connors, who arouses her secret desires and intensifies all her doubts about the future. And when Cabot makes a surprise visit to the island, Allison is forced to choose between her longings and her loyalties.
