Is their marriage ending…or just beginning?
Vicki Sorenson met Jamie Malone and married him an hour later. Both had good reasons for exchanging vows, but they had no plans to set up house. Back then, a ceremony secured his green card.
Now—thirteen years later—the new man in Vicki’s life is about to propose, so Vicki arrives at Jamie’s houseboat, divorce papers in hand. However, divorcing the charming Irishman is proving much more difficult than marrying him.
She expected a quick signature before flying home, but a washed-out causeway strands her on Pintail Point instead. With Hurricane Imogene bearing down on Currituck Sound, Vicki finds herself trapped aboard his battered boat alongside a scruffy stray.
The gale leaves her with a sprained ankle, while Jamie’s sudden kisses throw her orderly plans into disarray. As her husband refuses to sign, Vicki must decide where her heart belongs.
