Book excerpt: When Sissy Calhoun came to her brother Cory's wedding, she believed that her ten years of solitary life as an author was exactly what she'd wanted. She was then forced to look into the eyes of her brother's former law partner, Marshall Walker, a young widower and a man who could turn any woman's head. She was determined she would resist those beautiful brown eyes. Marshall had arrived in this small town along Cape Cod Bay hoping to recover from the endless work in which he had tried to drown his sorrow after the death of his wife. He now wants to start living again and is immediately captivated by Sissy, but he soon discovers that winning her heart may be a struggle he'll find almost impossible to win.
