Molly Montgomery couldn't be more thrilled about starting her new life working at Little Bridge Island's brand-new library. Happy to have left her problematic ex behind on the mainland, her new life feels like heaven . . . at least until she finds a newborn baby in the library's restroom. And she begins to wonder if life in Little Bridge is really the paradise she imagined . . . But when Sheriff John Hartwell answers Molly's 911 call, things begin to look up. He couldn't be kinder (or better looking) and handles the baby - and the hunt for its missing mother - with far more sensitivity and understanding than Molly would have expected from someone who never reads fiction. Maybe there's more to this tall, taciturn sheriff than meets the eye. Recently divorced John Hartwell has been having trouble adjusting to single life as well as single parenthood. It doesn't help that his teenage daughter, Katie, hates Little Bridge Island and wants to move to the mainland to live with her mum. But something in the sympathetic, smiling eyes of Molly Montgomery gives John hope that things on Little Bridge might be looking up after all - for both himself and Katie. But can two such different people ever find happiness together?
