When Meredith was a child, the little beach town of Cape Sanctuary lived up to its name. Spending summers there with her grandmother, Meredith finally felt safe and loved. Now she's returning in disgrace. Her late ex-husband swindled investors out of millions of dollars and made Meredith a figure of scorn, though she knew nothing about his scheme. But she still has the beach cottage she inherited from her grandmother and half ownership of the local cafe. It's a place to work and earn a little money. That's if her cousin, Tori, will let her through the door. Now widowed with a teenage daughter, Tori isn't setting out a welcome mat for the woman who let her down. While Meredith tries to make a fresh start, she is drawn to a mysterious writer renting the cottage next door. Liam's kindness is a balm, though she worries he might not be so friendly if he knew who she was. But Liam has his own secret and a mission that will help Meredith confront her past and maybe claim a surprising future.
