He was her first love. Now he’s her only protection. Can Adam convince Cassie he’s the real deal or will she never trust him again?
Cassie Vance thought she’d buried her past for good. After fleeing Shadow Cove Island with a shattered heart and too many unanswered questions, she built a new life as a nurse far from the memories she couldn’t outrun. But when circumstances pull her back home, Cassie must face the one man she never truly forgot—and the truth she may have gotten wrong.
Officer Adam Campbell never stopped loving Cassie. But when she left without looking back, she took his heart with her. Now the once-hopeful young man has traded vulnerability for charm, hiding behind an easy smile and a reputation as the island flirt. Protecting his heart is easier than risking it again… until Cassie walks back into his life.
As old sparks ignite and long-buried feelings resurface, a new danger rises on the island. Treasure hunters have descended on Shadow Cove, searching for the legendary riches lost with the shipwreck of La Fortuna. But their quest for gold turns ruthless, and Cassie finds herself caught in the crosshairs of a mystery that’s more dangerous than anyone expected.
With secrets unraveling and lives on the line, Adam will do anything to keep Cassie safe—even if it means risking the heart she once broke. Now Cassie must decide… Can she trust the man she left behind, and the God who never stopped pursuing her? Or will fear cost her a second chance at love?
