From USA Today best-selling author Leslie Pike comes an emotional, raw, and heartwarming stand-alone romance

Broken and unable to bear the violent death of his child, Parrish Adams retreated to a private beach in Maine. Isolated and alone by choice, he’s since avoided connections at all costs. The cold Atlantic Ocean and a bottle of scotch are company enough.

Single and fiercely independent, Scarlett Lyon’s life has taken a heartbreaking and dramatic turn after her sister and brother-in-law lost their lives in a fatal accident. Now guardian to her teenage nephew Sam, she’s relocated from Montana to her sister’s home on Martin’s Beach. Scarlett wasn’t expecting much from the stand-offish man living next door. Parrish wasn’t planning to get involved at all.

Attraction strikes when they least expect it and against all odds, they form a connection.

But can two wounded people struggling to stay afloat on their own let down their walls enough to let love in? Or are they destined to be two ships passing in the night?
