From New York Timesand USA Today bestselling
author Nan Rossiter comes a tender, moving story of
rekindled passion, set amidst the timeless beauty of
Nantucket.
Over twenty-five years ago, Liam Tate and Acadia McCormick
Knox fell in love. It was summer on Nantucket, and
seventeen-year-old Liam knew that wealthy, college-bound
Cadie was way out of league for a local boy who restored
boats for a living. Yet the two became inseparable, seizing
every chance to slip away in Liam’s runabout to secluded
spots, far from the world that was trying to keep them
apart.
After Cadie returned home to New York and discovered she was
pregnant, her parents crushed any hope of communicating with
the boy she’d left behind. Unanswered letters and calls
couldn’t change Liam’s heart, but over the years he’s
settled into a simple, solitary life in his rambling
beachfront house. Now he’s learned that Cadie is returning
to Nantucket for the opening of her son’s art show. Over a
weekend of revelations and poignant memories, Cadie and Liam
have an opportunity to confront the difference time can
make, the truths that never alter, and the bittersweet
second chances that arrive just in time to steer a heart
back home…
