"[A] magnetic second chance romance...McClain pits her charming, authentic characters against the realistic problems of everyday life, making for a story that is deeply emotional but never soapy...Readers won't want to put this down."—Publishers Weekly, STARRED REVIEW
A Chesapeake island homecoming—and a life-changing discovery

When Ryan Hastings first came to Teaberry Island, he was a troubled teen on his last chance. He's returning as a renowned scientist, checking in on his widowed foster mother. But one thing hasn't changed—Ryan's feelings for the girl next door who he loved...and left. Mellie Anderson has a son now, and a good life that Ryan believes he's still too damaged to share. But he knows he can help young Alfie, who's getting picked on at his new school.
Mellie is grateful her gifted son is getting extra support, and torn about where it's coming from. Ryan has no idea he's Alfie's father. No matter how valid her reasons were, could Ryan ever understand why she didn't tell him? But in this close-knit community, friendship and forgiveness are always near at hand, and forever love might be waiting just next door.

      Best-selling romance author McClain (His Baby Bond) kicks off a new series with this heartwarming second-chance romance. Ryan Hastings hasn't come back to Teaberry Island since he left for college, but when he gets word that his foster mother is faltering after her husband's death, he decides to return to the place where he left his heart. Mellie Anderson was more than the girl next door--she was Ryan's first and only love. Like his foster mother, she is widowed but has a 10-year-old son and seems to be doing just fine. Listeners learn that Ryan is the boy's father, a fact which Mellie had hoped to keep from him. But as the two gravitate towards each other and Ryan falls back in love with the island and with Mellie, long-held secrets come out. VERDICT Narrator Tanya Eby calmly and expertly captures the gentle pace and warmth of this small-town Chesapeake Island community. Even so, this slow-moving audio, filled to bursting with inspirational tropes, tends to drag. An optional purchase, but fans of sweet, fluffy fare may enjoy.--Erin Cataldi
