Leeward is a jewel of a small town nestled along the shores of eastern North Carolina's Inner Banks. This idyllic setting has a dark secret and Rae Lynne Grimes has waited ten years to bring it to light. Can she uncover the darkness without getting destroyed by it? Rae returns to Leeward to care for her dying grandfather, the person who put her back together after she nearly destroyed herself. She is no longer an innocent of fourteen. Fighting her own addictions, and a town who doesn't want her, Rae is determined to learn the identity of her rapists. Her stepbrother, out of prison, the only one who served time for the rape, wants revenge and promises to be kept. After inheriting her grandfather's beloved fishing camp, the only place that's ever felt like home, Rae learns Todd Bryant, Leeward's newly elected mayor and the man who orchestrated her rape and shame holds the loan note and plans to turn her home into a spa. Rae rescues Logan Birdsong and starts to believe in happy endings. When she learns he is working for Todd Bryant, she turns to her friend's dating club for solace. When Rae's dates start dying, she and Logan become murder suspects. Together, Rae and Logan must prove their innocence, but they must stay alive to do it. Thrust together, they soon give into their desires, but someone doesn't want them to have their happy ending.
