A hurricane may have destroyed her livelihood on Prince Edward Island, but she's determined to save her community
Kelsey Ahern has performed at the Victoria Playhouse on Prince Edward Island every summer since she was seven. But when a hurricane destroys the building, it's not just her memories that are in jeopardy. Her future as a teacher and drama coach are too. She teams up with Levi Ross, the facilities director at the high school, to produce a benefit show to raise money to rebuild the theater. He has a reputation for being able to fix anything, and Kelsey is sure there's more to the quiet man than meets the eye.
For his part, Levi has admired Kelsey for years, but he can't seem to find the words to tell her. When a popular weatherman arrives in town to cover the aftermath of the hurricane and takes an interest in Kelsey and her show, Levi realizes that the time has come to speak up--or lose the heart of the woman he longs for.
Join New York Times bestselling author Liz Johnson for a season of rebuilding, restoration, and romance with this final book in the Prince Edward Island Shores series.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In the sweet conclusion to Johnson's Prince Edward Island Shores trilogy (after The Last Way Home) a school facilities director and a charismatic drama teacher team up to save a high school drama department. Strong but silent Levi Ross has crushed on Kelsey Ahern since their own high school years, but he still can't work up the courage to speak to her. When a hurricane hits the school, Levi rescues an injured Kelsey from under a fallen tree, and the two forge a tentative friendship. The hurricane badly damages the local Victoria Playhouse, and without a place to stage productions, the school board cuts the drama department. Desperate to fix the theater, Kelsey plans a benefit play to raise money for the repairs, recruiting Levi to build an outdoor stage and set. As the two grow closer, Levi opens up to her about the traumatic childhood that left him reticent and insecure, but when Kelsey asks for a giant favor, he must decide whether his growing love has limits. Johnson sets out a tender, slow-burning romance woven through with an earnest message about overcoming one's past and the restorative power of second chances. Series fans will savor this feel-good finale.
