A contemporary small-town romance filled with hope, community and second chances:

Hearing-impaired lawyer Natalie Kimball returns to the charming New England beach town of Wallis Point. Kimball Law Firm has remained in her family for generations, and Natalie wants to continue the tradition.

Navy veteran Bruce Cole was Natalie’s high school crush, a guy who’d barely known she existed. In a beach-side wedding, she’ll be bridesmaid to his groomsman. 

To Natalie, they connected one emotional night during high school, a night in which his best friend perished in a car crash and Bruce was unfairly blamed. Sparing his family the anguish, Bruce never returned to Wallis Point. Until now. For his little sister’s wedding. For one night only, or so he thinks.

Can Natalie show him that home really is where the heart is? 

Love triumphs in this heartwarming story.
