Her romance novels always made the best seller list and her life in     urban D.C. was filled with friends and good times at the illustrious Willard Hotel. But deep inside Willa there was a light that had gone out when both her     famous parents were killed in a senseless car accident. She was eighteen and alone, except for the care of a watchful and loving aunt. The joy in her life     seemed over except for her desire to become successful; the wish of her novelist mother and insanely funny father who wrote a beloved weekly comic strip. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e     While her days of youth and daydreams of summers in Maine were gone, Willa succeeded in everything she set out to do, except for one important thing: the     love of a man to share it with. After one intense relationship that ended badly, Willa decided to concentrate on her writing. With success after success     Willa's name became a household word for women loving the intrigue, betrayal and happy endings that a good romance novel delivers. Then something inside of     her snapped and she couldn't write a word. Nothing came. Desperate to overcome this state of mind and heart, Willa had to get it back before her publisher,     the indomitable Kit Winthrop came down on her with a vengeance. Trying to find the right words and story to go with it, Willa happened to see a short     article in the paper that might lead to something. She could never imagine that meeting a young college graduate and following that article would lead her     to a woman who would change her life forever. A woman who lived on an island that was magical. Willa was about to go on an adventure that would bring her     all the things that had long been taken from her and find the love she had been looking for in the peace and serenity that could only be found on a small     piece of land that defied time in the enchanted Chesapeake. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AuthorHouse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47172482629872,"sku":"9781481756211","price":5.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781481756211_p0.jpg?v=1763623975","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781481756211","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
