Passions ignite when a small-town cop falls for the one woman he shouldn’t in this fake dating romance. 

Living in Ocracoke was a dream come true—until my husband died. 

I haven't set foot on that island since. 

It's been five years, and I thought I had moved on. 

But when my boyfriend suddenly drops to one knee, it’s the only place I want to be.

I thought I was there to say goodbye, but I found him instead.

Macon Green is an arrogant small-town cop with quite a reputation. 

When I find his ex-wife publicly humiliating him, I can’t help but intervene. 

I slide my hand into his, and just like that, we’re dating.

It wasn’t supposed to be real. 

And I definitely wasn’t supposed to stay. 

Yet, the more we pretend, the more it starts to feel undeniably... right.

Perhaps this is where I was supposed to be all along.
