Maybe not for you if...

About this book

Charity Ford runs a seaside inn on Orcas Island that welcomes guests seeking simple pleasures. After surviving a hit-and-run accident, she becomes more conscious of life's value. However, she is unaware that some of her guests are not what they seem—several are engaged in illegal activities and were responsible for the accident that nearly killed her. Roman DeWinter, an undercover federal agent, arrives with a mission to bring these criminals to justice. Having failed to protect Charity once, he is determined to keep her safe.
