Amy came to Rosemary Cottage to grieve, to heal, maybe even find love. But there’s a deadly undertow of secrets around Hope Island . . .
The charming Rosemary Cottage on the beach offers Amy Lange respite she needs to mourn her brother, Ben. She’s even thinking of moving her midwife practice to the Outer Banks community. It’s always been a refuge for her and her family. She also wants to investigate Ben’s disappearance at sea. Everyone blames a surfing accident, but Amy has reason to wonder.
Coast Guard officer Curtis Ireland has lost a sibling too. His sister, Gina, was run down by a boat, leaving him to raise her infant daughter. If anyone knew who little Raine’s father was, Curtis could lose his beloved niece. Yet he can’t help being drawn to Hope Beach’s new midwife, Amy. He even agrees to help her investigate what happened to both Ben and Gina.
Can two grieving people with secrets find healing on beautiful Hope Island? Or will their quest for truth set them at odds with each other . . . and with those who will go to any length to keep hidden things hidden?
ISLAND BREEZES
I love islands and island cottages. l especially Rosemary Cottage. Amy Lange generally stayed there only a couple weeks a year, but now she’s back to stay. She has to find out who killed her brother.
Unfortunately, she has to team up with Curtis Ireland, who is hunting for his sister’s killer. Amy and
Curtis are finding it hard not to antagonize each other in the process. It seems they both disapprove of the other’s sibling.
The one thing they do have in common is love for a precious child. This child can either draw them together or drive them apart.
I’ve enjoyed Ms Coble’s works. I was drawn in and fell in love with Hope Beach when I read Tidewater Inn. It was good to go back there. I hope she has more action on this island for us. I look forward to another visit to Hope Island.
