Trapped with my ex-fiancé in a small-town courtroom showdown.
The last person I expect to see on the island ferry is Graham Whitby. The man I once loved. The man who left me broken-hearted.
Now he’s the handyman fixing my collapsing cottage and the only attorney in Maine willing to supervise my pro bono case.
Every morning, he shows up with his tools and that gaze that lingers, unsettling and familiar. Each night at the diner, we share strategies over pie while our laughter and unspoken feelings mingle with the small-town gossip.
Somewhere between a shower disaster, a porch collapse and long hours in court, each brush of his hand reignites what I swore was gone. The spark I buried comes roaring back.
I’m falling for Graham again just as his secrets rise to the surface.
If I lose the case, I lose the community I’ve come to love.
If I lose him again, I may never recover.
