Taken by the Wind

More about the book

Miranda escapes to the islands off the North Carolina coast, resolving to rebuild her life and somehow prove to her skeptical grown daughter that she is not a pathetic one-off romance novelist still hung up on her ex. Then Austin blows into her life with a sweet friendship that makes Miranda feel desirable again. However, not all is as it appears, and the hidden truths of their lives seem destined to blow apart their new-found love. To complicate matters, a single woman on the island stirs up a lot of attention from a pack of lonely middle-aged men who circle her like hungry sharks trying to wedge their way into her life. Hidden secrets and complex inter-relationships abound on a small island where everyone is, or was, related. Miranda learns that other people's pasts can affect your future in ways that are simply stranger than fiction.
