Publisher's summary

From Wall Street Journal bestselling author Terri Osburn comes a bittersweet romance about discovering the past, if only to finally let it go.

Author Liza Teller’s new book is something of a mystery. She’s been hired to ghostwrite the memoir of Ray Wallis, an elderly stranger eager to share a very personal and surprising life story. The moment Liza arrives on beautiful Haven Island off the South Carolina coast, she has to ask: Out of all the semi-successful writers with stalled careers in the world, why her?

Kendall James, the dedicated ex-military man in Ray’s employ, has the same question. Why is this New Yorker in a frilly blue dress so important to Ray? But as protective and suspicious as he is, Kendall can’t help falling for the tempting outsider. And he isn’t falling alone.

As Ray’s life story unfolds, Liza and Kendall’s chemistry ignites. And all of it could be explosive. On an island this small, Liza soon discovers that there isn’t much room to hide - from the secrets of Ray’s past or from her desire for a man unwilling to give her the one thing she truly wants.

Not what you expect for a ghostwriter

Author Liza Teller has been hired to write the memoir of an elderly man. She will be staying on an island off the South Carolina coast. Upon her arrival she is met by a bear of a man, Kendall, who really doesn’t want her there...he believes that the memoir will bring bad consequences. But as time passes, the pair cant deny the chemistry between them and start dating. Life is good and Liza is considering relocating from NY, since she has no close family. However, the memoir reveals some shocking information that throws Liza for a loop and sends her running back to NY. Will Kendall go after Liza or does his loyalty to the old man trump his love for Liza? What is the shocking revelation? Well, you’ll have to read to find out!

Great story

First part was slow going, but it didn’t take long to become more interesting. The main characters clashed at first, but there relationship developed slowly but surely.
