And Lillian begins to wonder if it’s still possible to let love into her life...

The New York Times bestselling authors present a new series set on an island a stone''s skip away from Cape Light... Welcome to Angel Island, not far from the shores of Cape Light. It''s said to harbor angels that help guide the lost, that sometimes lead them right back to where they began... Liza Martin arrives on Angel Island to sell the inn she and her brother inherited from their aunt, so she can bolt back to her busy life in Boston. But back home awaits a broken marriage and an unstable career. The more time she spends on Angel Island, and with every local she meets, the more she finds herself enjoying the tranquility of the place.

Now that the Cape Light election is over, Mayor Emily Warwick can finally focus on her burgeoning relationship with Sara-the daughter she gave up for adoption twenty years ago. Seeing her after all these years has stirred up some conflicting feelings for Emily. While she is grateful to have Sara back in her life, she can''t help but regret their years apart. Typically she would turn to Reverend Ben for guidance, but turmoil within his own family has inspired a crisis of faith for the minister, making him question whether he is qualified to counsel his congregants. And then there''s the fact that Emily is slowly falling for newspaper publisher Dan Forbes, who''d been all set to leave for an extended sailing trip until an accident dashed his plans-giving him and Emily more time to develop their bond. But with two grown children of his own, would Dan ever want to start another family? Emily hopes so-because she''s eager for a second chance at life...
