Opposites may attract—but can two very different people find lasting love? A year ago, ex–Delta Force operator Steven Roark left the rigors of combat behind to run fishing charters in Hope Harbor, decompress, and talk some sense into his kid brother. Business is good—but making peace with his past is more challenging than he expected. First-grade teacher Holly Miller leads a low-profile existence—until she's recruited to advocate for a cause that's dear to her heart. When she solicits Steven's assistance, sparks fly—especially after they find themselves on opposite sides of an issue that disrupts their placid seaside community. As these two seemingly incompatible souls wrestle with their differences, might they discover more common ground than they expect—and a future filled with promise?
