A funeral. A beach house. A final request.

Hannah Ricci has no idea what to do when her beloved grandfather dies, leaving her his beach house with all the Cape Ann charm and family drama.

With jealous relatives and her mother’s chemo, Hannah struggles to find a balance. They all expect something different. Her grandfather used to be her safe harbor, knowing her bad habit of putting everyone else first, but with him gone, she’s lost at sea.

A hidden letter and a final request pushes her together with Joel Donnelly, her mysterious neighbor and a newcomer to the island! Joel is a walking ball of sunshine, offering warmth and patience that Hannah has never experienced before. He unknots the anxieties in her mind, putting her at ease even as he slowly worms his way into her heart — a place no one has ever managed to go.

Joel transforms a mission to spread her grandfather’s ashes in important places around Gloucester into a courtship — dancing in the gazebo where her grandparents had their first kiss, sharing secrets amongst the flowers, and learning to laugh again on the sea.

But Joel's past and the future he offers Hannah balance on the back of a dark secret. When the truth comes to light, Hannah must decide what matters more — everybody’s expectations or her heart?
