The late Hollywood superstar Lana Fox named her half-sister Emily
Donovan as guardian to her six years old daughter Lizzie. Angry with her deceased sibling for saddling
her with responsibilities she feels inadequate to deal with starting with her
niece and worse the paparazzi feeding frenzy, Emily and her charge flee to
Puffin Island off the Maine coast.
Following the deaths of his parents, as the oldest offspring Ryan Cooper
gave up his youth to raise his younger siblings. Once his responsibility ended, he fled Puffin
Island; vowing to be a globetrotting journalist with no emotional attachments
and never returning home. However, the Pulitzer Prize winning Ryan is back on the island
seeking escape.
When Ryan and Emily meet, each is attracted to the other. However, though he empathizes with the over
her head single “mom” and likes the vulnerable little girl, Ryan tries to keep
his distance from both; but his heart begs to differ.
The first Puffin Island contemporary romance is a wonderful family
drama starring three hurting individuals who reluctantly find comfort and
emotional support with each other.
Character-driven by the lead trio, readers will cherish their fumbling
efforts to come together.
