Libbie Halladay, who restores historic buildings with her
friend and business partner, Nicole, learns that she has inherited a beautiful
old inn on the Outer Banks in North Carolina. Before Libbie arrives on Hope Island
to see the inn, her partner is kidnapped! An investigation into her
disappearance leads the local sheriff, Tom Bourne, and his cousin, Coast Guard
rescue worker, Alec Bourne, to wonder about Libbie’s possible involvement in
the kidnapping.
Colleen Coble crafts an interesting story surrounding Libbie’s
character. In addition to the kidnapping dilemma, this book also has distrusting
(and untrustworthy?) townspeople including newly discovered step-siblings, and a
fragile friendship/love interest between Libbie and Alec. The reader wants the
deserving Libbie to receive fair treatment throughout the story, yet as in real
life, there are sometimes challenging events that guide the direction of her personal
journey.
