The book is in stores on Tuesday, April 2nd from MIRA.

Ismay has just passed the bar and is now a lawyer. Her fiancée Remy is still in California, studying to take his medical exam to become a doctor. They’re planning on spending most of the summer at his families beachfront property estate (they are filthy rich), on the island of Mariners, near Cape Cod. As soon as she gets there a hurricane hits, and she’s all by herself, except for the caretaker Bo, who has a secret past, who looks after her, and feels an attraction to him. In Remy’s old bedroom she finds a shocking discovery and it freaks her out. Once the storm passes, she helps Bo clean up, until Remy’s twin brother shows up and he’s trouble. As the day and weeks pass on, her brother Jake comes to the island, after his wife leaves him. Then Ismay gets a shocking text, has issues with Remy, and falls for Bo. As secrets are revealed, Ismay doesn’t feel safe and isn’t sure who she can trust. This is another good character-driven novel, that only Brenda Novak can write. You follow along with these characters and get emotionally invested with them. With some well place twists, this is one you won’t put down.
