Back Cover Copy:

In the wake of losing her husband, Rosemary feels directionless. Seeking solace, she embarks on a trip to Whelk’s Island to visit an old friend, undeterred by a looming hurricane. Before the storm arrives, she finds herself at Tug’s Diner, where an instant connection forms with the owner, Tug.

However, the hurricane devastates the diner, deepening Tug’s heartache from a previous loss. As Rosemary becomes part of Tug’s life, she begins to see his profound sadness. Determined to help him heal, she teams up with Tug and their friends Amanda and Paul. Together, they strive to help their tight-knit community recover and rebuild.

A Romance Rekindled

While Rosemary and Tug assist Amanda and Paul in mending their relationship, the young couple navigates the challenges posed by the storm. Their plans to take things slow start to unravel, revealing a stronger bond that was perhaps always meant to be.

Simultaneously, Rosemary and Tug cultivate a friendship that begins to mend their own broken spirits. Can this blossoming relationship convince them that love can be reclaimed, even for those hesitant to open their hearts again?

One thing becomes clear: Love is a risk worth taking.
