The woman was lighter and much more pliable. Though cold, her skin didn’t feel waxy like the man’s had. Could she be… alive? Max stretched her out beside the dead body and knelt in the sand at her side, pressing an ear to her chest. A faint thud whispered to him. She’d survived!
For the first time, Max looked at her face, startling at the familiar curve of her cheek. His heart hammered fiercely, jumping at the impossibility. With trembling fingers, he pushed wet strands of long hair from her face and vaulted to his feet, his entire body tingling like he’d been zapped by lightning. Either fate had thought to tease him horribly, or he was hallucinating.
It couldn’t be.
Yet here she was.
Lottie Pullard had survived a shipwreck… and washed ashore at Puffin Point.
TO BE CONTINUED….

Can they put the hurt and misunderstanding aside and seize happiness from love’s sweet return, or will they choose to part ways forever?
