Victoria Island is an idyllic place to live and work. Or so Emma Rutledge had always thought. Working for her family’s property company, she enjoys professional success. But her personal life is more complicated. She struggles to move past her childhood infatuation with Donovan, her brother’s best friend, and to cope with his callous rejection of her feelings.

But things are not always as they seem on the picturesque island. The sunny and peaceful haven conceals dangerous secrets. When Emma unexpectedly stumbles across the darker side of life, her life is threatened.

Donovan Evans is leaving the military after fifteen years and returning home to Victoria Island. He is ready to start the next chapter of his life with a different job and the hope for a new relationship. But old hurts frustrate his plan. And unforeseen violence transforms his priorities. Suddenly Emma and Donovan have more at stake than getting past their troubled history. They must work together to say alive.

Excerpt

Donovan dropped Emma at the Community Center for her workshop the next morning just before nine. He waited in the parking lot until she was safely inside, then reversed and headed back to Ocean Avenue and “his” house. His limbs tingled as energy zinged through his body. A place to call home. He turned into the long driveway. A white pickup with a magnetic “Rutledge Properties” sign on the side was parked in front of the garage. He pulled up next to it and got out of his truck.

It was a cloudless blue sky, perfect conditions to make his beach house look extra appealing. The sun warmed the paved path which meandered through random groupings of plants. A pair of osprey soared above the waves hoping to spot the unlucky fish that would constitute their first meal of the day. A fresh breeze off the ocean cooled him as he approached the house. A lightness spread through his chest. This felt right. This was his house. This is home.
