The strong third Seashell Bay contemporary (after Summer at the Shore) from Sykes (spouses Vanessa Kelly and Randy Sykes) weaves in a thread of suspense. Holly Tyler leaves her life in Boston to come back to her childhood home of Seashell Bay Island, Maine, and take over her aunts’ general store while her aunt Florence recovers from a panic attack. Back on the island, Holly reconnects with Micah Lancaster. Though she’s been friends with him for years, she started thinking of him differently when she was home last summer. But Holly still has painful memories of her deceased husband. As sparks fly, the romantic tension increases, and she must decide whether she’s ready to take another chance at love. The lure of romance between Micah and Holly propels the novel swiftly forward, and an element of mystery adds depth and dimension when Micah seeks to identify the burglars in the island’s mysterious break-ins.
