About this listen

Maggie thought she knew the life she was building, until one devastating discovery turned it all upside down. Reeling from betrayal and heartbreak, she knows she can’t stay where everything reminds her of the past.

Searching for a fresh start, Maggie packs up the pieces of her life and moves her family to Jewel Harbor, a charming coastal town far away from her painful past.

There she meets Evan, a charming – and ruggedly handsome – boat builder. As Evan helps Maggie to fix up her new home, she can’t help but wonder if he could also mend her broken heart…
