A childhood marriage dream comes crashing into the rocky reality of adulthood in this sweet beach romance between a woman who is an island unto herself and a man for whom the world is not enough. As the two navigate conflicting ideas about the future of a small island's sailboat-building school, Sydney St. James realizes Devin Fox might be the life raft she didn't know she needed. Will Devin realize that Sydney, his first friend, first kiss, and first marriage proposal (at the tender age of thirteen), is a safe harbor for his heart- the last and only woman he's ever truly loved? Set in Mackinac Island, this interracial romance between a Native American man and a bi-racial, African American woman, is the first novella in the St. James Sisters collection.
Author

Named Debut Author of the Year in 2022 by RSJ, former attorney Tana Jenkins is an EMMA Award-Winner for Sweet & Clean Romance and an OTFS Finalist for Paranormal Romance. Mensa's literary publication, Calliope also nominated her short story, Little Black Ugly, for the Pushcart. Tana has always been passionate about the magic of love. Her storytelling brings this magic to life, using richly imagined plots featuring characters who are often as loveable as they are quirky. As a multi-racial/African American writer, Tana is particularly interested in writing diverse characters in interracial romances—a nod to the notion that love knows no boundaries. After practicing law in several locales, including on the beautiful island of St. Croix, she writes from the Great Lakes region, which features in her beach romances. There, she lives her own HEA with her college sweetheart and their adorable rescue. When not penning the next novel or planning beach escapades, she can be found snuggled up with a good book and a bowl of ice cream. **Tana is always looking for ARC readers, so if you're interested email her: tanajenkins@tanajenkins.com
