Running from the ghosts of yesterday . . .

There was a time when classical guitarist Ian Hart was on top of the world. Awards. International acclaim. Adoring fans. And the belief that it was forever. Now, under the shadow of a scandal and betrayal that destroyed his career, Ian wonders what the next day will bring. In the midst of a life in turnaround, Ian's Aunt Amelia-his closest friend and greatest supporter-passes away, leaving him her home in Miramar. It's just the quietude he needs to reflect and to try and move forward. But what awaits Ian in the tranquil seaside town is more than he ever expected.

Toward a hopeful tomorrow . . .

Kari Langham is a stranger in her own family-misunderstood, dismissed, and underestimated. They strive for wealth, status, and fame while Kari finds personal fulfillment in painting. Wanting nothing more than to escape the soul-crushing sheen of a Hollywood life, Kari does the only thing that makes sense. She flees to Miramar. Renovating an old barn into her home and atelier, Kari finds anonymous sanctuary. But the openhearted town, and the world at large, has something else in mind-for Kari and for another newcomer to Miramar.

Ian and Kari are finding themselves in a haven by the sea, and it's just the beginning. They're ready for whatever the future brings, and to embrace with all their hearts what matters most.
