Laura Logan's life on Cape Cod has been nearly perfect—magical days spent by the sea with her beloved twin brother, Cary.

When tragedy strikes, it howls a name from the Logans' shameful past, plunging Laura into a silent, unbearable agony. Now, all she can do is dream of the happiness that feels just beyond her reach...
