"A tragedy has left Anna Kington broken-hearted, and wary of becoming involved with anyone again. Anna had to build a new life for herself and her young daughter after husband Ben's tragic death at sea. Now a community midwife in Cornwall, the last thing she needs is the attentions of the new locum, although Dr Joe Meredith has a way of getting under her skin. Anna's determined not to fall for someone who's only there for a few months, and worse, he's a medic on call for the local lifeboat service. She knows she couldn't cope with the emotional turmoil that loving such a man would bring: another man who goes to sea - and might not come back ... If she's ever going to love again she has to open her heart - but dare she risk it?"--Publisher description.
