Summary: "Ismay Chalmers is ready for a relaxing summer reconnecting with her fiancé at his family's luxurious beachfront cottage. But before Remy can join her, a hurricane bears down on Mariners Island. Alone in the large house, Ismay makes a disturbing discovery in Remy's childhood closet. She's not sure what to make of it, but is relieved when the property's caretaker, Bo, checks in on her. Bo's home is damaged, so they temporarily shelter together, and Ismay is comforted by his quiet strength. But the unannounced arrival of a family member puts Bo back at his place and changes Ismay's summer into something other than what she wants--or ever expected. With so many reasons to feel unsettled, Ismay finds herself turning to Bo, who gives her more than a sense of security; there's something about him that makes her feel alive, stirring her to wonder what life might be like if she chose a different path... As Ismay grows closer to Bo, she begins to hope the reclusive caretaker might eventually let down his guard. But when she finds out that he has secrets, too, she begins to question how well she knows any of the men in her life--and how well she can trust her own heart."-- Provided by publisher.

Booklist Review

Ismay wants a relaxing summer by the beach with her fiancé Remy at his family's lavish beachfront cottage. She arrives early, and while she waits a few weeks for Remy to arrive, a hurricane hits the area. As she looks for candles, Ismay discovers some disturbing items in Remy's old room. Soon after her discovery, the cottage caretaker Bo comes to check on the house. Ismay finds that Bo's home was damaged in the storm so she invites him to stay. Bo and Ismay have a connection and he goes out of his way to look out for her, especially when Remy's erratic brother shows up. Ismay finds out another secret about Remy--between that and the disturbing items she found in his closet, she starts to wonder if she knows her fiancé at all. While this novel is full of romance, Novak (The Seaside Library, 2023) elevates mystery elements that will appeal to readers of Colleen Hoover.
