Melissa Foster, the New York Times bestselling author of Maybe We Will, has written a captivating and emotionally charged novel that delves into the depths of love, family, and rediscovering what truly matters.

When Deirdra de Messiéres, a hardworking Boston attorney, is denied a well-deserved promotion, she decides to take a two-month hiatus and return home to Silver Island. However, her heart is not truly at home, as she has no interest in her family's restaurant, the Bistro, or revisiting painful childhood memories. Moreover, she finds herself utterly disinterested in spending even a single moment with Josiah "Jagger" Jones, the laid-back musician and chef who works at the Bistro.

Sure, Jagger is physically attractive, but his unconventional lifestyle and inability to maintain a consistent work schedule drive Deirdra crazy. He lives in a van with his dog and has a carefree attitude toward life, which clashes with Deirdra's driven and ambitious nature. She desperately needs to escape the island and return to the city.

Despite their initial disagreements, Jagger possesses a deep understanding of the importance of family, friends, and finding joy in the simplest of pleasures. He believes that he is the perfect person to help Deirdra overcome her past hurts and rediscover her happiness. Through a chance encounter, they engage in deep conversations, and Deirdra gradually allows her guard to down. However, both of them have their own aspirations and plans for the future, which seem to be at odds with each other.

As the nights unfold, Deirdra and Jagger spend more time together, and their connection deepens. They discover shared interests and passions that bring them closer together, but their paths are destined to diverge. Jagger has a wanderlust that cannot be quenched, and Deirdra has a career to return to in the city. They realize that their plans for a future together are unlikely to materialize, but they cannot help but feel a spark of connection that transcends their circumstances.

In the end, Melissa Foster's novel explores the complexities of love, family, and personal growth. It reminds us that sometimes, the unexpected connections we make can lead us to places we never thought we would go, and that sometimes, the things we least expect can bring us the greatest happiness.
