Welcome to Black Dog Bay, a tiny seaside town in Delaware
known as “the best place in America to bounce back from your
breakup.” 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: Don’t
stay with the same man for too long and never stay in one
place. She’s about to break rule number one by considering
accepting her boyfriend’s proposal—then 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 town’s oldest, richest, and
meanest resident, likes her enough to give her a job. Then
there’s Dutch Jansen, the rugged, stoic mayor, who’s the
opposite of her type. She probably shouldn’t be kissing him.
She definitely shouldn’t 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....
