After fifteen years of corporate success in Chicago, Emma Kendrick never planned to return to the tiny Key West cottage where she spent childhood summers with her grandmother. But when she inherits the rundown property—and discovers it's been illegally rented out for the past decade—she finds herself face-to-face with the most stubborn, infuriating, and unfortunately attractive squatter she's ever met.
Jake Kelleher has been calling the cottage home for three years, transforming the neglected garden into a tropical paradise and the space into an artist's retreat. He's not about to be evicted by some uptight mainlander in designer heels, no matter how legitimate her claim might be. Especially not when he's finally found the peace he's been searching for since leaving his high-stress life as a Miami paramedic.
What starts as a battle over property lines quickly becomes something much more complicated when Emma discovers that Jake's improvements have made her grandmother's cottage more valuable—and more beautiful—than she ever imagined. With Tess and Leah offering unsolicited advice from behind the bar at Margarita Max's, and the entire Conch Republic watching their every move, Emma must decide whether to sell the cottage and return to her safe, predictable life, or take the biggest risk of all.
Genre: General Fiction
