In three short minutes the war destroyed Devlyn MacMurphy's career, killed his best friend, and locked his heart behind a wall of guilt. Now he had a promise to keep and falling for his best friend's fiancée only made matters worse. As her calls to his request line became more frequent, he used the songs of his favorite composers to hint at what he could not say. Amanda retreated to Blue Point Cove to cope with her fiancé's death at the cottage where she'd spent her childhood summers. Her favorite music, played by a velvet-voiced deejay, got her through many a cold, sleepless night, and she thought it was merely serendipity when her new business brought them face-to-face. How was she to know that Dev had been her fiancé's best friend 'Mac'-and the cause of his death? If "Someone to Watch over Me" was her favorite song, Dev wanted to apply for the job. But eventually he would have to tell her the truth, and no song ever written would prevent Amanda banishing him from her life to the solitary hell he so richly deserved."

Zoe Silvercreek is determined to make Blue Point Cove a haven for artisans, and her gallery a showcase for their work. She’s begged, borrowed, and bet her future on making her dream a reality. She’d better succeed because she’s not about to forfeit what she used as collateral for the loan. Jeff Petrosky is a sculptor, currently making ends meet as a custodian at the Blue Point Motor Court, once a motel but now in its second incarnation as studio apartments. His sister is the real artist, but he’s sworn to keep her secret—at least until the day he saved enough money for the surgery that would repair the damage to her pretty face. The renovation of Zoe’s gallery is a godsend. In exchange for his labor at rock-bottom wages, he’d get Zoe to display ‘his’ paintings. He knows they’ll sell for enough to fund Jenny’s operations. Once his sister is healed and willing to be seen in public, they can drop the ruse and she would claim the paintings as her own. Working side-by-side sparks an attraction neither he nor Zoe can resist, but as their passions ignite, the secrets they are keeping threaten to destroy their love as well as the business they both need so desperately.
