Adam McCarthy has had a really bad week. In addition to nearly losing his three brothers in a tragic boating accident, his now ex-girlfriend has double-crossed him right out of the successful computer company he founded in New York City. What he needs is a few days at home on Gansett Island to make sure his beloved brothers are safe and to get back in touch with what really matters: his family, his friends, and the tiny island that soothes his battered soul. On the ferry ride home, he runs into an old family friend who's had her own share of heartache, and Adam helps her through some rough moments, sparking an unlikely alliance. Abby Callahan has come home to Gansett, single once again after another relationship blows up in her face. After two epic failures in the game of love, she's decided that this is going to be the summer she busts loose and finally has some fun! The new Abby swears, drinks, gets a tattoo, sleeps around, and generally does anything her kinder, gentler alter ego wouldn't have dreamt of. Before too long, Adam has appointed himself her guardian and is determined that the only sleeping around she's doing is with him. What will happen once they realize their summer fling has taken a serious turn—especially once Adam gets the chance to return to New York and fight for the company that's rightfully his? Abby has already followed two men off the island. Does she have it in her to find out if the third time really is the charm?
