For ten years, I've perfected the art of ignoring Ford Donoghue whenever he comes home on leave. You can't completely avoid anyone on Hatterwick Island, but I've made it work. Until his daughter shows up.She's thirteen, scared, and looking for the father she's never met. And suddenly I'm the one making the call I swore I'd never make, pulling Ford away from his Navy post and into my carefully constructed life. But something about her story doesn't add up, and when a body washes up on our quiet beach, the whole island starts to unravel.Now a teenage girl is counting on me, a murderer walks freely among us, and the only person I can trust is the former best friend who broke my heart a decade ago. And the people threatening everything I love? They're counting on the fact that Ford and I are too broken to work together.They don't know how wrong they are.In this small tourist town, old wounds run deep and deadly secrets hide in plain sight. And this time, running away isn't an option-for any of us.
