Publisher Description
What happens when the stubborn island prince falls for the mysterious stranger with a secret?
Welcome to San Camanez, a humble, peaceful little island in the Puget Sound and home to the McEvoy brothers. Four sexy single fathers—and one childless snack with a beard—who run a brewpub on the beach, raise their kids together, and hope to find love and happiness in the chaos that is life. This is Bennett's story ...
Single Dad and CFO, Bennett McEvoy, is determined to give his daughters a fun summer despite the money woes plaguing his family business. He needs the brewpub and cabins he owns with his brothers to be more prosperous than ever. Because right now, things are tight. His focus is on profit and sustainability. He doesn't have time for the mysterious beauty in cabin five. But when her cabin floods, he insists she move into his house, because he absolutely does not want to see her go.
Dr. Justine Brazeau, a renowned cardiothoracic surgeon, made a mistake and killed a patient. Clearly, she's not cut out to practice medicine. But now, she has no direction or purpose. She's lost. She's sad. And she's lonely. Well, not anymore since she's living with Bennett, and he's making it very difficult for her to figure out her future—that doesn't involve him without a shirt (or pants).
Can Bennett make the money his family business needs this summer, and heal Justine's guilty heart? Or is she too consumed with her own pain to see that together they are stronger, better, and a lot less broken?

So excited for the continuation of this series!
So excited for the continuation of this series! The second installment in this series focuses on Bennett, who feels the weight of the world on his shoulders between the brothers because of how serious he always is. He handles the books for the business, and he is starting to crack with how frustrated he is with his brothers in relation to the business. He wasn’t estranged with his wife during the time of the accident, and like his brothers, hasn’t moved on or thought about moving on since. That all changes when Justine books a cancelled cabin, saving Bennett financially as they aren’t out the money now, and while he’s instantly attracted to her, she’s a guest and he can’t cross that line. All that changes though when Justine’s cabin floods and he offers his bedroom to her until they can get alternate housing for her. As they spend time together, it’s clear that she’s running from something and harbors extreme guilt, but it takes some time for her to open up to Bennett, combined with opening up her heart to him. The standard twist of Justine’s past coming to the island and involving Bennett and his business was expected, but I loved how it played in the favor of their relationship along with her healing her relationship with her own family. I can’t wait for the next installment and to see which brother falls next!
