Description
Alissa Heartwood captains a fishing boat and is the pastry chef for her family owned and operated empire on an island off the coast of South Carolina. With summer looming, she feels destined to be on the fishing boat before dawn and chained to the kitchen in order to get the pastries out for all the customers coming to the island.
Shawn Newman is only going to be on his hometown island for a few weeks–just long enough to get the Heartwoods to sell their land. That’s what he tells himself anyway. He should’ve known that the sight of Lissa would bring up memories from two decades ago when they used to date.
Besides, the Heartwoods aren’t interested in selling. Lissa is resistant to his reappearance in her life too. As Shawn rediscovers the beauty of the island where he grew up, Lissa thinks she might have jumped to too many conclusions about her ex.

This book is mesmerizing! I felt like I was right there at the Heartwood Inn. I read it in 1 weekend at our cabin up north. When I finished the book, I couldn’t wait to start reading book 2, 3, 4….!!!

Ms Johnson writes wonderful characters. All are very realistic, and the situations they find themselves in seem realistic, too. I like that.
Our H & h in this one dated in high school and meet again years later. She’s trying to protect her heart so she doesn’t fall apart when he leaves her again, and he’s come to realize he was an idiot all those years ago.
