About the Book:

Even though secrets lie off the coast of Rock Harbor, the truth will set Annie Pederson free—if it doesn’t kill her first.

Nine-year-old Annie Pederson’s life changed the night her sister was kidnapped. The two had been outside playing on a dock, and Annie never forgave herself for her role in her sister’s disappearance. Twenty-four years later and now a law enforcement ranger, Annie is still searching for answers as she grieves a new loss: the death of her husband and parents in a boating accident.

But Annie and her eight-year-old daughter, Kylie, aren’t the only people in the town of Rock Harbor , Michigan, whose lives have been marred by tragedy. While managing the property around the Tremolo Resort and Marina she inherited, Annie discovers a dead body floating in the cold Superior surf and begins to work with the sheriff’s office to tie the death to a series of other mysterious reports in the area.

At the same time, her first love, Jon Dustan, returns after nine years away, reigniting the town’s memory of a cold case he’d been suspiciously linked to before he left to pursue his orthopedic residency. For the sake of her investigation and her heart, Annie tries to stay away. But avoiding Jon becomes impossible once Annie realizes she is being targeted by someone desperate to keep secrets from the past hidden.



My Rating & Thoughts:    


Having never read any of the author's Rock Harbor books I felt a bit lost at the beginning, like I had missed some background information. It took me a while to care about characters. I am not a fan of second chance romances and finding out their backstory made me frustrated at both of them. However as the mystery and attempts on Annie's life progressed I became more and more invested and was hooked by about the 60% mark. The ending does provide some answers, but there are also questions left unanswered with a bit of a cliffhanger ending that leaves me wanting to read book two to get answers.
