About the Book

Independence- the freedom to be yourself-or a day for fireworks, depending on your point of view Summer has come to Chapel Isle, the quaintly quirky island that Abigail Harker has called home since she moved into the caretaker's cottage at the local lighthouse. The season ushers in sweltering temperatures, along with throngs of tourists who are turning the sleepy town into pandemonium. The world Abigail fled after tragedy struck is descending upon her doorstep, and she isn't sure she can stand the heat. Tourists and natives alike are buzzing about a sunken treasure in the treacherous shoals off the coast, and clues to its location are supposedly hidden in the caretaker's cottage. Soon Abigail is the focus of everybody's attention, including that of a handsome, seductive bachelor. Amid the swarm of vacationers, it's hard to tell harmless visitors from those harboring dark intentions. As Independence Day nears, Abigail must decide- Should she stay on Chapel Isle-risking another heartbreak and even her own safety-or allow the ghosts of her past and the dangers of the present to chase her away?
