Why risk falling in love, when trusting again feels impossible?
Merris Randall doesnât believe in love at first sight. Then she meets Olivia Pearce. The attraction between them is inescapable, but Olivia is deeply scarred from a damaging relationship, and has vowed never to love again. Merris can relate. Until her divorce, her life had also looked perfect on the surface.
Dismayed when Olivia leaves town for a long vacation on Moon Island, Merris decides to travel there, too, as if by coincidence. Not cool. But playing by the rules has not panned out, either.
She is not the only guest conflicted over ethics. Anthropologist Dr. Glenn Howick must decide how far sheâll go, exploiting the spirituality of another culture for her career ends. Then thereâs Riley Mason, a post-grad student whose love threatens both Glennâs reputation and her most secret self.
With preparations underway for the secret rituals that celebrate the guardian goddess of the island, the islandâs owners, Cody and Annabel find themselves at odds over a tough decision. Annabelâs cousin, Melanie has come to them with a young baby and a desperate problem.
