From New York Times bestselling author Mariah Stewart
comes a new chapter in her celebrated Chesapeake Diaries
series, featuring her signature “rich characterization,
charming setting, and a romance you’ll never forget” (Robyn
Carr, #1 New York Times bestselling author).
Architect Cassidy Logan has sworn off good-looking
adventurers. Newly divorced, she’s focused on building
ecologically friendly, historically accurate homes on the
Chesapeake Bay for her father’s construction company.
Traveling to Cannonball Island—where there has been no new
construction in nearly one hundred years—Cass is sensitive
to the heritage of the island, and has come up with plans so
perfect she’s determined to buy a home for herself. Even the
fact that Owen Parker—a local who she dismisses as a
lightweight and a player—seems to be everywhere isn’t enough
to deter her from building her dream house.
Owen Parker is and always has been sinfully handsome and
wickedly clever, a magnet for mischief as well as girls.
He’s a rolling stone, going and doing whatever appeals to
him, from flying a mail plane in Alaska, to working on a
cattle ranch in Australia, a shrimp boat in Louisiana, and
surfing and diving in Costa Rica. When an old friend offers
him a job salvaging a sunken ship on the Chesapeake Bay,
Owen gladly accepts. Something’s been telling him it was
time to head home to Cannonball Island, and a job is as good
an excuse as any. And he’s totally smitten by the pretty
architect on the scene, but it seems he’s finally met a
woman who’s immune to his charms. Sooner or later, Owen will
have to face the reason why he always runs, because this
time, leaving just might be harder than staying.
