" . . go to Sea Blue Beach. Maybe you'll find something there you left behind."

However, the biggest surprise is that Caleb Ransom is also back in town working as a local architect.
After a brief catch-up, Emery and Caleb find themselves embroiled in local disagreements about the future of Sea Blue Beach. Past rivalries have grown into two extremely different visions for the lovely beach town, threatening to destroy its historic local lore. At the heart of the matter for Emery is her reunion with Caleb, could what they began so many years prior as young teens mature into something altogether permanent? Fear is a formidable foe.
