Her only child has recently married and left the nest. While coping with chronic health issues, divorcee Maddy Sumner has never needed a vacation so badly in her life. So when her best friend Riley offers to secure a rental house in the Florida Keys, she's more than ready to jump at the opportunity.

But when a dangerous situation strikes in the midst of the relaxing month-long retreat, it's the mysterious man across the street who comes to Maddy's rescue--and it's not long before the two forge a meaningful connection. Hardworking, handsome, and divorced, Jason Burnett is an award-winning architect and avid traveler, but deeply damaged by the actions of his ex-wife from a decade ago.

When the pair head on a romantic trip to Key West, their feelings for each other become undeniable, despite the short time they've spent together. But when an unexpected visitor sheds light on a complicated past, old heartbreaks and new obstacles emerge--which could put this budding romance on hold for good.
