Everettâs faltering third Sanctuary Island contemporary (after Shoreline Drive) suffers from inconsistent characterization. Sheriff Andie Shepherd is suspicious of Sam Brennan from their first meeting, not least because of his criminal record, but even in an election year, sheâs willing to follow her heartâor her lust. News spreads around the tiny Atlantic-coast town in no time flat, and Andieâs involvement with Sam puts her job in danger. Andie is also struggling to deal with surprise custody of the 10-year-old niece sheâs never known. Andie and Samâs relationship is supposedly built on respect and trust, but when straitlaced Andieâwho begins the novel with a fairly rigid belief that things will work out if one just follows the rulesâseems to tip her entire moral code on its head in support of a man sheâs only known for a few weeks, her credibility as a strong and substantial heroine begin to crumble. Agent: Deidre Knight, Knight Agency.

Although not a native, after three years on Sanctuary Island, Sheriff Andie Shepard knows this is the perfect place to put down some long-needed roots. She certainly isn't seeking out a companion in the process--especially a distrustful, lost eight-year-old who hardly says a word. But Caitlin is the daughter Andie's army ranger brother, Owen, never knew he had, so when Caitlin's mother is killed and Owen is sent overseas, naturally Andie welcomes her. Trust comes slowly, but horses and loner Sam Brennan's perceptive insights play their part, helping a fearful child to heal and bringing Sam closer to Andie, as well. VERDICT A resilient, caring sheriff and an emotionally wounded hero find love against all odds in a soul-satisfying romance that highlights the importance of family, second chances, and loyalty; adds a dollop of danger; and treats fans to the magic of the idyllic Sanctuary Island and its elusive wild horses. Everett (Shoreline Drive) also writes as Louisa Edwards; she lives in Austin, TX.
