Bestselling author Jodi Picoult is beloved for her powerful tales, and her latest tells the story of two women centuries apart.

This heartfelt, romantic story follows Zara Miller who once had a whirlwind night with a stranger named “Saint.” She was never able to find him again, and two years later, he’s still on her mind. But when she returns to her hometown, she finds out Evans “Saint” Toussaint works for her brother. They keep their past a secret, but when they end up at her cottage on Pelican Bay, their desires take center stage.
