Wisteria Winds (Wisteria Island Book 2)

Danielle is the only medical provider on Wisteria Island and stretched thin by the demands of her role. Bennett hires a new doctor, Zach Emerson, without consulting her. Zach is talented, respectful, and handsome—a complication for Bennett, who carries emotional scars from discovering his ex-fiancée with another man. When Bennett returns early from a trip to find Danielle and Zach dancing the tango on her deck, he withdraws without asking for an explanation. Danielle is angry not about his jealousy, but because he didn't trust her enough to simply ask what was happening. Meanwhile, other island residents face their own crises: a new resident with a tabloid journalism background is about to betray someone's trust, a flamboyant man receives an unexpected call from an eighteen-year-old great-niece he never knew, and a Category 4 hurricane approaches Wisteria Island. When the hurricane destroys Danielle's cottage, she has no choice but to move into Bennett's guest room. Forced into proximity, they must finally have the conversation they've been avoiding—one that leads them through the storm and toward rebuilding their relationship. Set on a coastal South Carolina island, this clean romance features forced proximity, misunderstanding, hurricane survival, family secrets, and found family bonds tested by crisis. Heat Level: Just Kisses. Ending: HEA.
