When Rachel Shaw and Jack Fletcher meet on a sunny Georgia barrier island, it seems like the perfect start to a romance.

There's just one problem-neither is the least bit interested in falling in love. They're simply looking for peace, and time to work through their losses.

But Rachel's Aunt Eleanor and Fletch's Gram have a few surprises in store for these two wound-ed souls-and as they enlist their help restoring a vacation cottage for one of Gram's charities, might these endearing matchmakers pave the way for Rachel and Fletch to discover the charms of the Golden Isle...and each other?

In this Carol Award winner, Irene Hannon explores the wonder of second chances-and the joys that await if we have the courage to seize the opportunities that come our way...even if they re-quire us to change our plans.
