All Holly Tyler wants is a fantastic career, a not-too-
committed relationship, and a city where there
are no painful memories. Instead, she's called back to
her hometown of Seashell Bay to help with her
family's struggling general store. It's a town where
everyone knows everyone, and where one man could
sink Holly's careful plans.
Deputy Sheriff Micah Lancaster has wanted Holly for as
long as he can remember. He knows she has a life
on the mainland-and a boyfriend-and that there's no real
future with her. But now Holly is back and the
attraction still flickers between them, a promise of
something more. Their desire is stronger than any
undertow . . . and once it pulls them under, it won't let
go.
