    A practical-minded police chief and his first love get a second chance at romance in this novel in the Bayberry Island series.

    Every instinct told Police Chief Clancy Flynn that his island’s claim to fame was nothing but a silly tourist attraction.

Though Evelyn McGuinness is wanted for kidnapping, she tries to persuade Clancy that there’s more to the story. Now the by-the-book police chief must make the toughest decision of his life: to take Evelyn into custody—or into his arms...
