      Fate has reunited them…but for how long?

      Life took a detour when Delainey Talbot became a mother. There’s no better job but that doesn’t mean she isn’t excited about finally becoming a lawyer—a dream she’s this close to fulfilling. So when the partnership at Bailey’s Cove’s only law firm goes to Hunter Morrison, she’s devastated.

      Hunter and Deelee haven’t seen each other since their ill-fated romance ended suddenly—he doesn’t even know about six-year-old Brianna! Deelee wants him out of her town and her job. Too bad her heart says this could be their chance at the life they were meant to have.

      “Shamus told me you got accepted to law school. Congratulations.”

      Delainey didn’t look up. She didn’t smile as he thought she would.

      “What’s the matter?” Hunter asked when she didn’t say anything either.

      “Straight and unvarnished?”

      “Straight and unvarnished.”

      She pinned him for several seconds with her smoky gray eyes and nodded once. “You took my job. Shamus was supposed to stay for a few more years. Harriet would take over and I’d step in on the bottom rung and someday, I’d be able to buy into the practice.”

      “I can see from the active cases there isn’t much use for a third attorney at that office.”

      “I have to live, eat, take care of my daughter and repay college loans. I won’t be in a position to open an office or to work in one that can barely pay me.”

      “I’m leaving.”

      She stiffened. “Of course, you are.”

      Dear Reader,

      We’re back in Bailey’s Cove, Maine!

      For Delainey Talbot many things are true. She is a great mother. She will be a great attorney if she just gets the chance to go to law school. Bailey’s Cove, Maine, is the best place to raise a child and she’ll live there forever.

      When Hunter Morrison, now a high-powered, big-city lawyer comes back into town, the rock-solid truths of Delainey’s life are shattered.

      I hope you enjoy Delainey and Hunter’s romance as they face their past and find silver linings neither could have ever imagined.

      And is there truly a treasure long ago buried by the pirate Liam Bailey?

      CHAPTER ONE

      THE BLUSTERY WINTER morning had started well...

      But when Delainey Talbot let herself into the side entrance of the old redbrick building of Morrison and Morrison Attorneys, the office was eerily quiet. No morning chatter greeted her. No clicking of keys or rustling of papers—not even the smell of coffee.

      Since her workday didn’t start until she dropped off her daughter at school, there should be at least five people here by now.

      The excitement of her long-awaited acceptance into law school faltered as she crept
