Nurse Nora Blake swore she'd never return to Heron Island. But a storm-warning shift at the understaffed clinic drags her back to the salt-battered rock she fled seven years agoâstraight into the path of Cole Vance, the man who once knew her better than anyone and still knows exactly how to get under her skin. When her first patient, the island's last founding patriarch, codes on her watch and gasps a dying warning about a ledger and Cole's boat, Nora realizes the nor'easter trapping them isn't the only danger closing in.
With the power grid down, the causeway flooding, and a stranger in a pristine coat waiting at the clinic doors, Nora and Cole are forced into an uneasy alliance to keep Arthur Ward aliveâand to figure out what secrets the old man was guarding. As the storm rages and the island cuts off from the mainland, every clipped command and loaded glance between them reignites a rivalry that once burned hot enough to destroy them both. But on Heron Island, the past is never truly buried, and the truth Arthur died protecting is washing ashore with the tide.
A closed-door romantic suspense where the chemistry crackles like lightning, the medical stakes are razor-sharp, and the only way out is through each other.
