When Audrey Cunningham's father proposes that they move to Bridal Veil Island, where he grew up, she agrees, thinking this will help keep him sober and close to God. But they arrive to find wealthy investors buying up land to build a grand resort on the secluded island-and they want the Cunninghams' acreage. Contractor Marshall Graham can't imagine why the former drinking buddy of his deceased father would beckon him to Bridal Veil Island. And when Boyd Cunningham asks him to watch over Audrey, Marshall is even more confused. He has no desire to be saddled with caring for this fiery young woman who is openly hostile toward him. But when Audrey seems to be falling for another man-one who has two little girls Audrey adores-Marshall realizes she holds more of his heart than he realized. Which man will Audrey choose? And can she hold on to her ancestral property in the face of overwhelming odds?
Being a Georgia native and having spent some old fashioned childhood summers on Jeckyll Island it was intriguing to read about a historic type of beginning for such a place. While not my favorite Teacie Peterson. I did enjoy the novel and plan to come back for more from Tracie and Judith Miller in To Hold and to Cherish.
