Artemis Pendleton returns to the lakeside estate where she spent many happy days as a child, before the deaths of her parents. Alone with her memories, she picks wild blueberries on a quiet island. As she starts to dip into the cool water for a refreshing swim, she discovers she isn’t alone after all. A man is asleep on her little island. Artemis doesn’t believe his story about why he’s trespassing, but the truth is even more complicated. She is convinced this rugged stranger and his secrets are the key to finding out what really happened to her parents. She’s playing a dangerous game, not only with her life…but with her heart.

Carla Neggers is the New York Times bestselling author of the Sharpe & Donovan series featuring Boston-based FBI agents Emma Sharpe and Colin Donovan, and the popular Swift River Valley series set in the small, fictional New England town of Knights Bridge. With many bestsellers to her credit, Carla loves to write now as much as she did when she climbed a tree at age eleven with a pad and pen and spun stories perched on her favorite branch. A native New Englander, Carla and her husband divide their time between their hilltop home in Vermont, a sofa bed at their kids' places in Boston and various inns, hotels and hideaways on their travels, frequently to Ireland.
