Outer Banks of North Carolina-Hatteras Island, 1868
Just two remain...
After losing their mainland family, Emily Bennett convinces her brother, Joel, to move their lives to the barrier islands of North Carolina for a fresh start.
Owning and managing a bed-and-breakfast sounded easy enough, but when Emily greets their very first patron, she quickly learns that the business is nothing short of complicated.
Handsome, witty, and smart, Caleb Wright convinces Emily to break her brother's rule regarding socializing with patrons. After all, it was just evening strolls on the beach. And besides, the traveling engineer was on a business trip, so why not indulge in a spicy summer romance? In the past, she had never been interested in anything long-term, anyway.
But soon, their liaison unleashes new emotions both Emily and Caleb can no longer deny.
That is until a string of events expose Caleb Wright as a lowlife man who preys on certain kinds of women. And Emily matches the criteria perfectly.
Against overwhelming proof, Emily can't shake the possibility that Caleb is being set up.
Yet the more Caleb's character comes to light, the more she begins to doubt him.
Despite all odds, Caleb sets out to prove his innocence while holding onto the hope that love conquers all.
