When
Anna Worthington's twin sister gets jilted by her fiancé, Anna steps in with a plan
for a girls' Key West getaway instead of a honeymoon trip. Yet when her twin
has her own crisis of commitment and doesn't board the plane, Anna finds
herself on a romantic getaway that she's forced to navigate alone.
Gunnar
Lockhart, whose specialty is island tourism, is the perfect match for helping
Anna complete her vacation bucket list, but time together forges a connection
more personal than either anticipate. As they make island memories, Anna has to
untangle her mixed emotions. Are her feelings toward Gunnar real? Or like her
sister's wedding day, has this connection been doomed from the start?
Now, here’s an exclusive excerpt to
give everyone a sneak peek. This scene focuses on a bucket list that the main
character has to complete as the novel unfolds.
Anna
threw back the covers and swung her legs to the side of the mattress. As she
stood, a slip of paper peered at her from the half open suitcase that was still
in disarray from the night before.
She
bent down, plucked the paper by the corner, and read the words.

Five Goals for Key West
·
Eat key lime pie.

Watch the sunset.

Sail on the water.

Collect seashells.

Lounge on the beach
Brie’s
handwritten wishes choked Anna with homesickness. These simple pleasures were
her bucket list for the vacation she had wanted to enjoy.
So for readers who want a beach
escape, this novel is a great opportunity! I hope readers enjoy the escapism.
Now, here’s a question for everyone
to share: WHAT IS YOUR MOST MEMORABLE VACATION? Share it in the comments

My review:
This book really does sweep you away
to a nice, hot sunny beach. Anna begins totally out of her depth when she goes
on her twin's honeymoon. Alone. However it's not long before she is literally
bumping into Gunnar and some of the Key Lime Pie this part of Florida is famous
for. Toss in a bucket list of things to do, an old man in need of some help,
and this book is unputdownable.
