Harper Jackson
Release Date: September 6
I drowned when I was sixteen.
My brother’s best friend brought me back, but nothing was the same. I can’t remember what happened. My parents dragged me away from my island home in the name of keeping me safe, and thrust me into hell instead.
I came back to Hatterwick to rebuild my life and–hopefully–my memory.
Now a new inheritance threatens to expose those long buried secrets, and someone will stop at nothing to ensure I never remember what really happened that fateful night.
The only thing standing between me and whoever wants to hurt me is a marriage of protection with the boy who saved me–now a man grown and determined to keep me safe at all costs.
But what began as protection turns into more. Because he’s the key to unlocking what hides in the shadows of my mind, which will either save or damn us both.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 3.5 Stars
The prologue takes place 12 years ago, the night Willa drowned and her heart stopped beating. She has huge gaps in her memory about that night. Now, she’s estranged from her parents and has returned to Hatterwick to rebuild her life and hopefully reclaim her memories about the night that her brother’s best friend, Sawyer, saved her life. They’ve always had a crush on each other, and now that they are in a marriage of convenience/protection, things progress to a bona fide relationship.
After some misunderstandings, Sawyer and Willa get on the same page, and I liked the progression of their relationship. The quest to find out what really happened the night Willa ended up in the water is full of twists and turns — and I was happy that my suspicion about who was the bad guy was correct!
Having spent many summers on OBX, I kept imagining Cape Hatteras as the setting, since the town name, Hatterwick, is so similar! I’m still not sure why the group of friends consider themselves the “Wayward Sons,” but I liked the relationship between the friend group, and how supportive they are of each other in this found family. I’d be interested to read the rest of the books in this series to learn more about the disappearance/murder that night of Willa’s friend Gwen!
I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
