There’s an aura of romance-enhanced by a pair of matchmaking ghosts and a colourful island legend. As Jamie’s relatives arrive for a wedding gala, something wonderfully unusual is in the air. On this gorgeous island rich in history, magic is everywhere, even in Hallie’s own backyard. She suspects there’s more to his injury than he’s letting on. His attentions draw her out of her shell-but he has a dark secret, and is tormented by nightmares that only her presence can keep at bay. Assuming that the devastatingly handsome man has led a charmed life, Hallie is surprised by Jamie at every turn throughout his recovery. Hallie is told that wealthy, young James Taggert has injured his leg in a skiing accident. New trouble, however, has already settled into Hallie’s guest room in the form of her newest client.

Desperate to put her troubles behind her, Hallie impulsively flies to Nantucket. When Hallie arrives home early from work one fateful day, she makes two startling discoveries that will turn her life upside down: Not only has a mysterious relative left Hallie a house on Nantucket, but Shelly has been trying to steal it. Though Shelly’s acting career has never taken off, she has certainly perfected the crocodile tears to get what she wants-which all too often means Hallie’s boyfriends. Life is anything but perfect for Hallie Hartley, a young physical therapist who has given up nearly everything-even her love life-for her beautiful blonde stepsister, Shelly. Jude Deveraux’s eagerly awaited third novel in her blockbuster Nantucket Brides trilogy continues the spellbinding saga of the Montgomery-Taggerts, set on an island steeped in beauty and unforgettable romance.
