Sierra Morley is in town under false pretenses, but she can't keep herself from enjoying the company of Matt Porter, the handsome, articulate, and charming young carpenter she first encounters while both are enjoying the sunrise atop Carrie's Hill. Rock solid, if somewhat cash poor, Matt has nurtured one dream since childhood--to buy the lighthouse there and live in it. Sierra's hidden agenda, however, puts his dream at risk. Meanwhile, reclusive Gordon Hanley has a surprise visit from the daughter he had never met, and the townsfolk are all aflutter over the upcoming nuptials between Norah and Ned (" Harbor Nights," 2005). Evanick deftly continues to develop her heartwarming contemporary series set in the tiny fishing town of Misty Harbor, Maine, with the cleverly intertwined romances of unlikely couples who find their heart's desire when they least expect it. Her many readers will embrace this new work featuring cameos by, and updates on, many favorite characters.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2006, American Library Association.)
