Newly divorced, she's focused on building ecologically friendly, historically accurate homes on the Chesapeake Bay for her father's construction company. Traveling to Cannonball Islandamp;mdash;where there has been no new construction in nearly one hundred yearsamp;mdash;Cass is sensitive to the heritage of the island, and has come up with plans so perfect she's determined to buy a home for herself. Even the fact that Owen Parkeramp;mdash;a local who she dismisses as a lightweight and a playeramp;mdash;seems to be everywhere isn't enough to deter her from building her dream house.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Owen Parker is and always has been sinfully handsome and wickedly clever, a magnet for mischief as well as girls. He's a rolling stone, going and doing whatever appeals to him, from flying a mail plane in Alaska, to working on a cattle ranch in Australia, a shrimp boat in Louisiana, and surfing and diving in Costa Rica. When an old friend offers him a job salvaging a sunken ship on the Chesapeake Bay, Owen gladly accepts. Something's been telling him it was time to head home to Cannonball Island, and a job is as good an excuse as any. And he's totally smitten by the pretty architect on the scene, but it seems he's finally met a woman who's immune to his charms. Sooner or later, Owen will have to face the reason why he always runs, because this time, leaving just might be harder than staying.","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47105078296816,"sku":"2940170653492","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940170653492_p0.jpg?v=1763807534","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940170653492","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
