For eight years John Hennessey has lived in near-solitude on Catalina Island. But when his peaceful existence is threatened, he buys a cottage farther up the California coast in the sleepy town of Teal Beach.
There he meets Sunny Harrison, owner of the Teal Beach Sundial Inn where he stays until his cottage is ready for move-in. The connection between them is magical, though both are surviving a painful past and afraid to trust especially as an undercurrent of darkness dwells in their midst as unforeseen events change everything. As tensions escalate and the enemy comes into focus, John and Sunny know they face grave danger from people with no conscience. Yet, they have no idea what diabolical plans lie in wait for them.
