In the small beach town of Serenity by the Sea, Kassidy Russo tells a lie. Not a big lie that would harm other people. The kind of lie that causes a small inconvenience no larger than dripping ice cream on a hot day. At least that’s how she sees it.
She’ll come clean to her estranged sisters soon enough, but first she must convince them to stay in Serenity, keep their late father’s failing tavern, and clear out his neglected home filled with years of trash and junk. Before she does any of that, she should ask herself; when everything begins with a lie, how can it end with the truth?
Grant Hawkins arrives in Serenity by the Sea under a falsehood. His brother deceived him. But Grant agrees to stay a few weeks because his secret hides well in a quaint town with interesting residents. He also owes his brother this one last try to save what Grant has broken. And maybe he stays because the pretty woman in the tavern needs his help.
