Deb Whitaker was shocked to see Grant on Crown Island.



The grand reopening of the Majestic Hotel is the event of the season on Crown Island, and interior designer Deb Whitaker is at the center of it all.



After spending nearly a year restoring and redesigning the vintage landmark interiors, she’s finally ready to celebrate. And she’s not going alone. Matteo, charming and attentive, is the new man in her life.



But just as the champagne begins to flow, the past crashes back in.



Grant. The only man she ever truly loved. The one who vanished without a word. No one has ever measured up to him.



Deb has built a life on her own terms. She’s fiercely independent, successful, and strong. But it’s too late to start the family she once dreamed of.



When the man who broke her heart returns with secrets of his own, she’s forced to ask, is it ever too late for a second chance at love, or should she keep the past buried?
