Holly Walker is happy, if occasionally a bit lonely, in the life she’s built on the island of Grand Turk. She and her grown son, Byron, have built a thriving business there together, and the slow pace of life “on island” suits her well. But when a Category 5 hurricane is projected to make landfall on Grand Turk and Lord Anthony Bascombe, a fellow who routinely chalks up his bad behavior to the fact he is descended from pirates, her mostly predictable life is turned entirely upside-down.
After the hurricane passes, Holly finds herself separated from her grown son, Byron, and his father, Montez—her unrequited love of more than twenty years. Unable to contact them, and unsure if they’re even alive, she is undone. Will she ever see them again? And what about all the others on the island who may be hurt, or even dying? To survive the storm’s aftermath, Holly will have to draw on her own strength—and open herself to the possibility that what she once wanted and what she wants now may be two very different things.
