BLURB
A sexy and soul-stirring novel about love, family, and rediscovering what matters most by Melissa Foster, the New York Times bestselling author of Maybe We Will.
When workaholic Boston attorney Deirdra de Messiéres is passed over for a well-deserved promotion, she takes a two-month hiatus to show her boss just how much he needs her and heads home to Silver Island. But beyond seeing her sisters happy, home is not where Deirdra’s heart is. She has no interest in their family restaurant, the Bistro, or reliving hurtful childhood memories, and absolutely no interest in spending a single second with Josiah “Jagger” Jones, the Bistro’s too-laid-back musician and chef. Sure, the hippie is hot, but he drives her nuts. The guy lives in a van with his dog, and he can’t even commit to a solid work schedule. To make matters worse, he’s always around. She needs to get off the island, stat.
Jagger has overcome his own personal trials to place stock in life’s pleasures: family, friends, peace…and if he has his way, one positively beautiful, absolutely uptight attorney. Jagger knows he’s the perfect person to help Deirdra deal with her hurtful past and find her way back to being happy.
A chance encounter leads to deep conversation, and night after liberating night, Deirdra lets down her guard. But neither is long for Silver Island. Free-spirited Jagger has wanderlust, and Deirdra has a career to return to. They’re on different paths, and plans for a future together don’t stand a chance. But when has anything gone according to plan?
“Dirty Didi has turned me into Jacked-Up Jagger. I can’t get enough of you.”
ARC REVIEW
Deidra left Silver Island to pursue a career. Now, she is a workaholic and slightly on the grump side. Jagger is a free spirit, full of sunshine and light. The two of them are opposites, yet together they balance each other out.
I really loved Jagger and of course, Dolly. He had always heard stories about Deidra from her mother, but the woman he is face to face with now is lost and he is the perfect person to help her find herself again and live. Plus, his family, especially his brother Gabe….it’s such a special and sweet relationship they have. I loved seeing Deidra open up and actually enjoy life again.
Jagger and Deidra are not lacking when it comes to chemistry. The two of them are really heating up the pages. I loved their story, the growth of these characters and all the sweet family moments that occurred.
