출판사 설명
When Meg Whitaker's father decides to sell the family's lobster-fishing business to her high school nemesis, she sets out to prove she should inherit it instead. Though she's never had any interest in running the small fleet--or even getting on a boat due to her persistent seasickness--she can't stand to see Oliver Ross take over. Not when he ruined her dreams for a science scholarship and an Ivy League education ten years ago.
Oliver isn't proud of what he did back then. Angry and broken by his father walking out on his family, he lashed out at Meg--an innocent bystander. But owning a respected fishing fleet on Prince Edward Island is the opportunity of a lifetime, and he's not about to walk away just because Meg wants him to.
Meg's father has the perfect solution: Oliver and Meg must work the business together, and at the end of the season, he'll decide who gets it. Along the way, they may discover that their stories are more similar than they thought . . . and their dreams aren't what they expected.
Bestselling author Liz Johnson invites you back to Prince Edward Island for a brand-new series about family, forgiveness, and the kind of love that heals all wounds.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Johnson (A Sparkle of Silver) kicks off her Prince Edward Island Shores series with this heartwarming romance centered on a schoolteacher's efforts to keep her father's lobster business afloat. Meg Whitaker's father, Walt, decides he needs to sell the family business in order to have the time and resources to properly care for his dying wife, who is suffering from a mysterious illness. Meg is horrified when Walt decides to sell to her arch-nemesis, Oliver Ross, who ruined her science fair project in high school and destroyed her hopes of getting into an Ivy League college. Even though Meg never had an interest in lobster fishing, she proposes Walt sell it to her instead. But Walt requires Meg and Oliver to work together for the summer and, at season's end, he'll determine who will get the company. Over the ensuing months, Meg and Oliver develop an unlikely friendship as they learn more about each other, find forgiveness, and fall in love. While faith themes are subtle, Meg and Oliver's attraction rings true, and the ending is especially clever. Johnson's fans will eagerly anticipate the next installment of this promising series.
