Jenna Greene didn't see her boyfriend's proposal coming. Even though Jason had brought up the topic of marriage quite a few times recently, she never thought he'd pop the question---on their second anniversary. On Valentine's Day. Okay, so maybe she should've been more tuned in when he asked her to dinner at the fanciest restaurant in their small town after all the marriage hints.
But when Jason got down on bended knee, Jenna couldn't speak, only shake her head no. Even though she loved Jason, something just wasn't right.
But Jason wasn't just her boyfriend; he was also her boss at Fleming Orthodontics where she managed the office. Well, used to manage the office, until he fired her.
Deeply embarrassed, with no job prospects, Jenna returns home to Chincoteague Island, Virginia. Besides, she needs to investigate some strange news she heard from her best friend, Tyson Parker. Apparently, Jenna's mother came home from a cruise with a new boyfriend. Good thing Jenna has eyes on the situation, because something doesn't add up---he's making suspicious phone calls and borrowing money from her too-trusting mom.
As Jenna and Tyson team up to investigate, old feelings of friendship blossom into more. But is Jenna willing to open her heart and see where love might lead? 352 pages, softcover from Nelson.
