About the Book:

Slinging fried clams at a dumpy tourist trap in Florida's panhandle at thirty-one and being a single mom was not the future Adrienne Harris envisioned. As a girl in Harbor Point, she dreamed of becoming a chef and spending her life with Quinn Merrit, the rich and handsome boy next door. But her dreams crumbled the summer she turned seventeen, ending with her running away pregnant, heartbroken, and notorious.
Adrienne's world is upended again when she gets the call that her eccentric grandmother has nearly burned down the family cottage. Adrienne has no choice but to return, and the town wastes no time in thrusting her back into the harsh limelight. When local fishmonger Christopher Crane offers Adrienne a chance to be the chef at the fish market her grandfather once owned, Adrienne might just figure out how to face the past and forge a new future.
