From Back Cover:
He thought the big city was tough
Then former Chicago cop Justin Clay met his neighbor's rebellious teenage nephew. Just like Justin, the boy had come to Nantucket to put his difficult past behind him. But while love-shy tea shop owner Heather Anderson is doing wonders for Justin's outlook, she's having trouble reaching the teen. Suddenly the man who didn't think he had anything to offer is helping a fractured family, and three fractured hearts, come together. And a world-weary cop is turning into the hero-and husband material-next door.

When two fellow officers die in a sting operation set up by undercover cop Justin Clay, he heads to Nantucket Island on a leave of absence, figuring that working there as a beat cop during the summer tourist season will give him a chance to decompress and regroup. But he hadnt counted on falling for Heather Anderson, owner of The Devon Rose tearoom. Thats a complication he doesnt needor want. Nor is Heather interested in the towns newest cop. After experiencing the destructive effects of infidelity on families and relationships, shes written off romance.

MY REVIEW:
This is the second in Irene Hannons four book series Lighthouse Lane.
I loved this book, I think even more than the first in this series! Irene Hannon does such a great job telling truth through story of complex family issues-there is no perfect family, no perfect formula for success, pride alienates, & what ifs only hinderbut we must trust the Lord, He is faithful & His love never fails.
