Rachel Abrams, acquisitions editor for Big Apple Books in Manhattan, is looking for some serious down time. She hasn't taken a real vacation in years. Colleagues have recommended a cruise to scenic Cape Breton Island.
Logan Stewart is a former oilfield worker, recently returned to the Cape, who has written three short novels. His last one, two years ago.
When Rachel stumbles upon Logan's romantic novella, Promise Me Forever, she recognizes a new voice and desperately wants to meet the author. However, Logan makes it abundantly clear that his writing days are over, which sets up a battle of the wills.
As she attempts to rekindle his passion for storytelling, does Rachel risk pushing Logan back to his reclusive ways, or will her own passion inspire him to write a new love story - one that includes her?
