Tola comes back to coastal Beaufort, North Carolina to turn her grandparents' house and acreage on the waterway that she's newly inherited into a dog rescue with the help of loyal volunteers.
Along the way, she finds herself torn between accepting love as it comes, though secret and taboo, and her rising standing in her small community as leader of this growing, desperately-needed safe haven for homeless dogs called
The Harbour.
What happens when she risks everything for passion and love?
Journey with Tola as she discovers that true love doesn't look the same for her as it does for everyone else. Escape with her for an afternoon sail on the Intracoastal Waterway. Ferry over and explore Ocracoke Island on a dog-saving mission. Find comfort in the healing waters of the British Virgin Islands... ...and, best of all, surrender to mind-blowing, secret, taboo-infused passion. Because as Tola's charismatic, hilarious gay best friend Gerry says, "Get you some, Honey... it does the soul good." Contact Elle at www.ellemarenbooks.com and on Twitter at @ElleMarenBooks.
