Description
Madison’s heart has been closed for years. But one summer can change everything.
In the years since her twin brother’s drowning, Madison McKinley has struggled to put it behind her. Despite the support of her close-knit family and her gratifying job as a veterinarian in their riverside town, the loss still haunts her.
To find closure, Madison sets out to fulfill her brother’s dream of winning the town’s annual regatta. But first she has to learn to sail, and fast.
Beckett O’Reilly knows Madison is out of his league, but someone neglected to tell his heart. Now she needs his help—and he’ll give it, because he owes her far more than she’ll ever know.
Madison will do anything—even work with the infamous Beckett O’Reilly—to reach her goal. And as much as she’d like to deny it, the chemistry between them is electrifying. As summer wanes, her feelings for him grow and a fledgling faith takes root in her heart.
But Beckett harbors a secret that will test the limits of their new love. Can their romance survive summer’s challenges? And will achieving her brother’s dream give Madison the peace she desperately seeks?

1By DannyGirl2146The only good part about this book is the quotes from the Bible and them bringing GODs presences into the book other then that. This book is terrible... Very childish for them to be in their late 20’sDraaaaagged
1By jericho's girlIt was predictable and long - forty two chapters plus epilogue. I can’t believe Madison was kept on considering all the huge mistakes she almost made. Cassidy is my favorite character. She saved Madison’s job a few times.Great Book
