About the book
Teaming up to investigate her mother's mysterious new boyfriend has made Jenna see her best friend in a whole new light.
Despite clearly expressing her reluctance to tie the knot, Jenna's boyfriend didn't heed her words. His rejected proposal not only cost her a boyfriend but also her job, as he was her boss. However, the timing of her firing couldn't be more perfect. With her widowed mother returning from a cruise with a questionable new partner, Jenna decides to head back to Chincoteague Island, Virginia, to uncover the truth.
Back on the island, Tyson Parker enjoys a fulfilling life working at his parents' bed and breakfast, volunteering for the fire company, and taking care of the wild ponies as a saltwater cowboy. Although he regrets his failed marriage, he's thrilled to have Jenna return to the island and offers to help her unravel the mystery surrounding her mother's new beau. As they spend more time together, Tyson's feelings for Jenna begin to evolve into something more.
Jenna had anticipated a pleasant visit with her mother, Tyson, and his family, reminiscing about her late father and the wild ponies on Assateague Island. However, she hadn't bargained on her changing emotions towards her best friend. Despite her aversion to dating firefighters and her fear of commitment, Jenna finds herself questioning whether she should take a leap of faith and risk their friendship for a chance at something more.
