Book 2 in the series of Hearts on the Coast. Marissa Clarke has never been one to hold her tongue. Fierce, outspoken, and loyal to her friends, she isn't afraid of the whispers that follow her through Powell River. But when she falls for Tyler MacLean, a logger known as much for his temper at the Rodmay Pub as his strength in the woods, Marissa finds herself drawn into a romance that's equal parts thrilling and dangerous.
As summer heats up with Logger Sports Days, Canada Day fireworks over Willingdon Beach, and camping trips at Haywire Bay, sparks fly between them-sometimes tender, sometimes explosive. Marissa longs for stability, a future she can trust, while Tyler battles the shadows of his reputation and the fear he can't change. The town watches every step they take, and jealousy threatens to ignite more than just passion.
Meanwhile, Lia writes letters from Vancouver, her heart divided. Jason hides his hurt behind quiet glances, and Kate's silent struggles begin to crack the surface. Against this backdrop of fireworks, gossip, and longing, Marissa and Tyler must decide if love can survive the fire-or if it will burn them both down.
