From New York Times bestselling author Mariah Stewart comes a captivating and heartwarming new novel in her beloved Chesapeake Diaries contemporary romance seriesβperfect for fans of Barbara Freethy, Robyn Carr, and Susan Mallery.
Carly Summitβs name couldnβt be more fitting, since in life she always lands on top. She grew up wealthy and privileged in a tony Connecticut town, opened her own gallery in New York City, and is about to make art world history displaying previously unknown works by a prominent twentieth-century painter. No wonder she possesses a can-do attitude that canβt be soured. Ford Sinclair is another story. A military career in war-torn Africa, where he witnessed unspeakable violence and suffering, has left him haunted and deeply cynical. Now heβs looking for a way to forget and a place to belong. He hopes to find both back home in St. Dennis.
When Carly is forced to move the premiere of her new exhibit from her Manhattan gallery to St. Dennis, and Ford agrees to temporarily take over the townβs paper, the two cross paths. While Ford is confounded by Carlyβs unflappable good cheer, he canβt help being drawn to her. And undaunted by Fordβs restless heart, Carly sees a man worth caring for. But when a late night phone call takes Ford back to Africa, Carlyβs left to wonder if the pull of the past and its ghosts will prove stronger than the promise of a future with her.
