Tori Aickens understands more than most what it feels like to lose the ones you love, but she also understands how to survive that kind of pain by leaving it all behind and never looking back. Unfortunately, while she's busy never looking back, she walks straight ahead to find her fiancé cheating on her with a grin on his face. Tori decides to return to Fireweed Island to teach for the summer, but coming back to a place where ghosts lurk in even the happiest of memories makes her face the heartache of her past she's done so well at leaving behind. It isn't until Gabby introduces Mason Rhodes to her that she realizes kindness can exist in this overly brutal thing called life, and maybe not all men are meant to self-destruct, or she's just been sniffing in too much ocean air. Either way, spending time with Mason on Fireweed Island leaves Tori questioning if the carefully constructed life she left behind in New York is one she even wants any longer. Mason is determined to break down Tori's barriers, but she's not sure she's strong enough to let go of her past and imagine a future that risks her heart getting broken again, and she wonders if there's such a thing as the right love at the wrong time... Fans of the Beyond Love Series will enjoy seeing old friends and reading about fresh characters in this carefully woven tale of love, heartache, and new beginnings.
