Miranda Gabriel has finally hit rock-bottom. As a high-school drop-out, she fled Blue Moon Harbor and her shattered family life, and chased after love in all the wrong places. But now, as a single mom, her priority is her two-year-old daughter. Her only choice is to swallow her pride and return to the island she's always hated. At least between working and studying, she'll be too busy for romance-especially when the prospect is a nice guy, exactly the kind she knows she doesn't deserve... The island veterinarian, Luke Chandler is a widower raising four-year-old twin boys. In high school, he found bad girl Miranda fascinating-and though life has changed them both, he's still intrigued. Luke has known true love, and something about Miranda makes him long to experience it again. Yet he's wary of opening himself, and his boys, to hurt. But his heart may not give him a choice. And together, maybe he and Miranda can give each other the courage to believe in themselves, and to embrace a promising new future . . .
