The Other Side of the Island - Drake Isle, #7

Zoe Fairchild just found out her long-time boyfriend cheated. Big time. So she rents a cottage on idyllic Drake Isle to escape and nurse her wounds. She has no intention of enjoying anything except sun, sea and solitude, until sexy-as-sin construction worker Darren Harlan crosses her path. She's from old Boston money. He's from a foster home with three brothers who scrapped for every dime. But on Drake Isle, the stars align and these two unlikely lovers fall hard. Still, Darren has deeply buried childhood secrets..
And Zoe has a privileged life waiting for her back on the mainland. When she discovers Darren's past is tied to a suspicious death from decades ago, she'll have to decide whether to trust her new soulmate or return to the safe life she's always known. Drake Isle is famous for its happy endings. This time, though, the other side of the island might not be far enough to escape the secrets and sins of the past. If you like gruff guys with good hearts, small towns and seasoned romance, then you'll love this spin-off book in the Drake Isle series! Welcome to a new island mystery, new characters, and a whole slew of familiar friends and places you've come to know in the earlier books.  Note: All Drake Isle stories stand alone with their own happy ending.
