Hannah Maclean arrived at the annual Maclean Fashion Show, greeted her fans, and went inside to look for her assistant and best friend, Laura Jean. This was the time of the year where she put out her designs to the entire world. After three years, her Manhattan fashion company was very successful. She changed into the dress she would model and checked her phone, but her husband, Joe Collins, left no message to excuse his not being here to support her. Her assistant Laura urged her to let him go, that he was no good for her. Someone had sent pictures of him and another woman to her phone, and a panic attack started. Laura gave her pills and vodka to wash it down. On stage, she could not continue. But when she came back to the room early, she heard Laura laughing on the phone with Joe, talking about her and assuring him they could be together all night! Hannah knows she needs to get out of the city. A new life in South Carolina by the sea sounds like the perfect solution. Maybe she can even open a restaurant and fulfill her dream?

Back in Cherry Grove, Taylor Martinez is in counseling sessions with his wife, Benny. She wants to move to LA for her career. He wants to stay in the small town he loves. So she wants out of the marriage. And when Benny walked out of his and their daughter Sarah’s life, Sarah blamed it all on her father.

A chance meeting puts Hannah in the path of Taylor Martinez. He’s a good man, but she is not looking for romance. But a dark event from her past is about to catch up with her. Hannah is accused of a crime she didn’t commit. She’ll have to fight for her freedom and she won’t be able to do it alone. Who can she turn to for help?

A prologue of this series where the characters and the storyline are shown. I think it is going to be a great series. Well, in fact, I know it is a great series. I have to say that I have read books 1 and 2 before this one, and I enjoyed them a lot, even though I didn’t know the background of Hanna’s running away.
