Aurora Whitlock hit rock bottom.
Broke, single, and mourning her career going up in smoke, she decides to kick-start her new life by
renovating the bones of an old beach house hidden along the Carolina coast.
What a clich -inheriting a fixer-upper from a deceased relative. That kind of thing only happens in
books.
But beggars can't be choosers. The Old Whitlock Place, and all its secrets, is going to be home sweet home for
the summer.
Jack Wharton didn't expect to find a summertimer squatting in the dilapidated mansion next door.
As a career firefighter tasked with protecting Cedar Island, North Carolina, he's seen a thing or two.
But he's never seen anything quite as haunted as Aurora.
Painting walls and fixing floors in the middle of summer shouldn't be that hard to handle. But the
temperature isn't the only thing that's hot. Can Jack and Aurora's sizzling romance stand the heat?
Or will the secrets they uncover consume them?
