Welcome to Black Dog Bay, a tiny seaside town in Delaware known as โthe best place in America to bounce back from your breakup.โ Home to the Better Off Bed-and-Breakfast, the Eat Your Heart Out bakery, and the Whinery bar, Black Dog Bay offers a haven for the suddenly single.
Flight attendant Summer Benson lives by two rules: Donโt stay with the same man for too long and never stay in one place. Sheโs about to break rule number one by considering accepting her boyfriendโs proposalโthen disaster strikes and her world is shattered in an instant.
Summer heads to Black Dog Bay, where the locals welcome her. Even Hattie Huntington, the townโs oldest, richest, and meanest resident, likes her enough to give her a job. Then thereโs Dutch Jansen, the rugged, stoic mayor, whoโs the opposite of her type. She probably shouldnโt be kissing him. She definitely shouldnโt be falling in love.
After a lifetime of globe-trotting, Summer has finally found a home. But Hattie has old scores to settle and a hidden agenda for her newest employee. Summer finds herself faced with an impossible choice: Leave Black Dog Bay behind forever, or stay with the ones she loves and cost them everything....
