Lark Nyberg writes picture books about a brave little lighthouse keeper named Beanie. They're beloved by children, teachers, and especially by her bank account. What her readers don't know is that she's been blocked for six months, her publisher is getting impatient, and she rented a cottage on Moontide Island out of sheer desperation to find inspiration somewhere—anywhere—outside her Brooklyn apartment.

What she finds is a neighbor.

Gideon Yates is a widowed charter boat captain with a seven-year-old daughter named Willa, who is absolutely convinced that Lark is a mermaid princess sent to break the "curse" that's keeping her daddy sad. Gideon is mortified. Lark is charmed. And Willa has a very detailed plan involving seashell crowns, "accidental" beach picnics, and something called Operation: Happily Ever After.

Lark isn't looking for love. Gideon isn't sure he's ready for it. But Willa? Willa is extremely sure.
