Martha's Vineyard Sweet Beach Cove

It all started on Christmas Eve seven years ago.

One night she arrived home unexpectedly, and overheard Devon Hollingsworth in conversation with a woman, asking her how the children were and telling her that he loved her.

The man who was supposed to be married to her -- had a family.

Shocked, Jane confronted him. When she asked Devon for the truth, he tried to lie... then finally admitting the truth -- that they had never been legally married.

Jane told him, he needed to leave. But, Devon reminded her that he was paying for the house.

So in the middle of the night, Jane took her son and escaped.

Now Christmas Eve only brought bitter memories.

Seven years of different apartments, different jobs, different names. Seven years of constant fear that Devon somehow would find them.

The weight of constant vigilance had become unbearable.

When Grandmother's will revealed an inheritance of family jewels, Jane wondered if her childhood home of Martha's Vineyard might offer a safe haven for her and her son.

Would her family welcome her back? Or had her past mistakes marked her for a lifetime of looking over her shoulder?

When Jane's childhood friend, Ward Hampton, offers to help Jane solve the mystery of her parents' deaths years ago, she is hesitant, but finally agrees.

As Jane and Ward search for the truth, they uncover clues that her ex-husband is weaving his lies and deception on the island. Fear haunts Jane, and she is scared to let down her guard to allow herself to fall in love.

However, Ward won't give up. Will he be able to win Jane's heart? Will he be able to show Jane that he is faithful, kind and a safe place where she can finally trust her heart?
