Overview

History runs deep.
Love runs fast.
And Avery Greene . . .
runs the hell away.

Left with scraps from several broken relationships, carpenter Avery Greene builds herself a safe and steady life in Upstate New York.

No love.
No loss.
No problem.

But when she makes a jarring discovery in her grandmother’s attic, it cracks her stable life at its vulnerable foundation.
In search of a permanent fix, Avery finds herself at the Sea Springs Inn, a bed and breakfast in the Outer Banks—where the rip currents roll, sand dunes shift, and her strikingly gorgeous hostess throws her plans completely off course.

Embarking on a new journey doesn’t come without squalls, and just as Avery adapts to her surroundings and the possibility of love, a violent storm strikes the North Carolina coast. Will the fear of heartbreak keep Avery anchored to the same, drawn-out plans? Or will she revise her design, remodel her heart, and finally add love to life’s blueprint?
