Sous chef Aimee Tierney has the perfect recipe for the perfect life: marry her childhood sweetheart, raise a family, and buy out her parents' restaurant. But when her fiancé, James Donato, vanishes in a boating accident, her well-baked future is swept out to sea. Instead of walking down the aisle on their wedding day, Aimee is at James's funeral - a funeral that leaves her more unsettled than at peace.

Two months before his wedding, financial executive James Donato chased his trade-laundering brother Phil to Mexico, only to be lost at sea and presumed dead. Six and a half years later, he emerges from a dissociative fugue state to find he's been living in Oaxaca as artist Carlos Dominguez, widower and father of two sons, with his sister-in-law Natalya Hayes, a retired professional surfer, helping to keep his life afloat. But his fiancée, Aimee Tierney, the love of his life, has moved on.

Award-winning photographer Ian Collins made only one mistake in life, but it cost his mother her freedom and destroyed their family, leaving Ian to practically raise himself. For years he’s been estranged from his father, and his mother has lived off the grid. For just as long, he has searched for her.

After a harrowing accident tore her family apart, Molly Brennan fled from the man she loved and the tragic mistake she made. Twelve years later, Molly has created a new life for herself and her eight-year-old daughter, Cassie. The art history professor crafts jewelry as unique and weathered as the surf-tumbled sea glass she collects, while raising her daughter in a safe and loving environment - something Molly never had.

Die Hochzeit mit ihrer großen Jugendliebe sollte der schönste Tag in Aimees Leben werden. Aber statt mit James vor dem Altar steht sie nun allein an seinem Grab. Von einer Reise nach Mexiko ist er nicht zu ihr zurückgekehrt. Er galt nach einem Bootsunfall als verschollen, bis seine sterblichen Überreste angespült wurden. Jeder Moment ohne ihn schmerzt und die Vergangenheit gibt keine Ruhe. Eine geheimnisvolle Fremde behauptet, James würde noch leben.

L'aiuto cuoco Aimee Tierney ha trovato la ricetta per la vita perfetta: sposare il ragazzo che ama fin da quando è una bambina, creare una famiglia e poi chissà, un giorno rilevare il ristorante dei genitori. Il futuro che aveva sognato le passa però davanti in un lampo, come strappato dal vento, quando il suo fidanzato James perde la vita in un incidente in barca. Dal giorno in cui la chiesa che avrebbe dovuto ospitare il loro matrimonio è diventata il triste scenario per il funerale di James, Aimee non ha pace.
