Ford Donoghue broke my heart a decade ago. And no matter how hard I tried, I was never really over it.
I perfected the art of ignoring him whenever he came home to Hatterwick Island—cold shoulders, polite smiles, and walls a mile high.
It worked.
Until the day his thirteen-year-old daughter walked into my bar, scared and looking for a father she's never met.
One phone call later, Ford's back in Hatterwick.
And so are all the feelings I swore I'd buried.
But this isn't about us.
At least, it wasn't supposed to be.
When a body washes up on the beach, the whole island goes on edge.
And when strange things start happening around Peyton, it's impossible not to wonder if her late mother's secrets are still casting shadows.
The more we dig, the more tangled the truth becomes.
And if we're wrong about where the danger's coming from, the girl who brought us back together might be the one who pays the price.
