Lainey Adams, a master at people-pleasing, can’t remember the last real job she’s held. Between filling in at the general store and waiting tables at her brother’s diner, she’s always adapted to meet everyone else’s needs, forgoing her own career. When an unexpected injury leaves her dad’s fishing boat without a captain, she bears the weight on her shoulders to save the family business.

When she spots a sports car stuck in a ditch, she’s intrigued because newcomers are a rarity in this small town. Upon realizing it’s Tate, the boy, now man, she hasn’t spoken to in ten years, she’s filled with mixed emotions. After all, he’s the boy that stole her heart every summer for twelve years only to leave it broken in the end.

Tate Matthews thrives on order and predictability. When he catches his girlfriend cheating on him on the day he was planning to propose, it uproots his plans for his future. Feeling aimless, he returns to his grandfather’s seaside cottage in the eccentric town of Widow’s Wharf, the town that holds the glistening summers of his youth and the one girl who has always remained at the forefront of those memories.

Armed with a plan in place to fix the wear on the family cottage from being a seaside rental over the last decade and a newfound purpose, Tate begins renovations. When he finds a faded letter with a vague message to meet at a lighthouse that no longer exists,his interest is piqued.

Will Tate be able to solve the mystery of the letter? Will it be enough to bring Lainey and Tate together again? And most importantly, will Tate be able to help Lainey see her true worth?
