A rundown cottage in a down-on-its-luck town on the storm-battered Jersey Shore. A mid-century rust bucket masquerading as a car. And if she's lucky, a job waiting tables in a diner that's seen better days. Alexandra Curry’s new life doesn't look anything like the life she left behind yet for the first time in years she has the feeling she just might be on her way to happy. John Gallagher has a soft spot for underdogs. Why else would he still be living in Sea Gate, New Jersey? When the blonde goddess with the upper-crust accent walks into the Starlight and asks for a job, he’s tempted to laugh out loud. He knows a princess when he sees one and he’s willing to bet Alexandra Curry has never known a day of hardship in her privileged life. But then he looks into her eyes and sees the vulnerable woman behind the beautiful mask and everything changes in a heartbeat. A woman on the run. A man with a broken heart. A town on the brink of disaster. Can love save them or is it already too late? Outstanding Barbara Bretton serves up an incredibly moving novel that celebrates the human spirit and the ability to love, adapt and grow. Unforgettable! ”" Jill M.
