A quiet life on Fire Island became the perfect way for me to pay penance.
Maybe the accident wasn’t my fault…but my choices changed the lives of people I loved. Forever. I’ll never be able to take that back.
The howling winter wind and cold temperature make me want to stay inside, drinking away my sorrows, but I promised my family and friends I’d change, or at least that I’d try.
So I drag myself to weekly therapy and keep my body busy remodeling my buddy’s house, and surfing in the frigid waves when I can, and that seems to be enough.
Until Sadie Baker moves in. She’s only going to be here for a few months, but she makes me laugh, she makes me think, and she makes me feel alive…almost like myself again.
That’s why I offered to pretend to be her boyfriend on a visit home to show her ex-fiancé that she’d moved on. But suddenly, nothing feels like pretending.
And I don’t know if I’ll ever be whole enough to share my heart again.
Sadie
The double mastectomy probably saved me from the same fate so many women in my family suffered, but it left me feeling more than different. It left me feeling less.
A few months after surgery I ran away from my cheating fiancé and my surfing oasis in Folly Beach. And I arrived on Fire Island in the middle of winter to start over.
But starting over is hard, when I don’t recognize myself at all.
Cold and lonely, I just have to make it through a few months here before I start a job in New York City. But when the pipes in my rental house burst, I have no choice but to move into the dusty and messy house my neighbor is remodeling across the way.
It turns out that Eamon McLeod isn’t what I thought at all. He’s been through his own share of loss, and in a strange way he seems to understand what I’m going through. He’s not afraid of my scars, and he makes me feel beautiful.
But when Eamon’s past comes crashing down around us, everything I thought we had is wrenched away. Though it hurts to watch, I know there are some battles he has to fight for himself.
And even though I think I love him, I know that maybe some demons are too strong for love to conquer.
Note: This is the third book in the Fire Island series, and is an interconnected standalone, though there will be some spoilers about other characters from Books 1 and 2. There is a HEA. No cliffhanger.”
