A beachy new novel from the author of "Sunset at Catoctin Creek" and "Runaway Alex"

It's the perfect island escape.

When Katie hitchhiked her way out of Key West, she was looking for a fresh start. Kicked out of the small-time band where she'd been a back-up singer, and not sure what was coming next, she accepted a truck ride from a Conch native - and found herself on a tiny island inhabited by eccentrics and a herd of charming horses. Oh, and Lou.

Lou's a mystery Katie would love to unravel - the son of Sea Horse Ranch's owner, with a past he's keeping secret and a gorgeous smile she can't get enough of. But her stay in the Keys isn't just about a fling with the handsome local. Sea Horse Ranch's future is in jeopardy, and the longer Katie stays, the more committed she'll become to keeping this magical little island safe from harm. As she falls deeper in love with the Florida Keys, Katie might just find that her past is the key to saving her future.

Pull up a lounger, pour yourself a boat drink, and get ready for a beach read in the sun-splashed and utterly unique Florida Keys!
