When Isa learns she's pregnant and then discovers Jack in a compromising position with his producer, she returns to Maine, determined to focus on re-establishing her life and getting her children back. She didn't count on her ex-husband showing up. Nor did she expect Jack to come to her hometown.
The country star is singing a new song, but will it be enough for Isa to put her trust in him? And who is the father of her baby? Find out in Book One of the new Cinnamon Bay series, coming soon from debut author Beatrix Eaton.
