I found the story of a recently divorced Jersey girl who moved to the low country of SC a fascinating tale. The handsome attorney, Alex who lives in the beach house next door added the romance I always look for in a book. Alex helps Charley discover a secret about her even she didn't know. Leigh Anders always crafts a good story, and this one was no different.
