When Morgan Selby, a writer for a Seattle children's show, advertises for a boarder to help share the rent on her Whidbey Island lighthouse, she has no idea it will bring with it a part of the past she yearns to forget. Her new tenant is Barry Wells, an entertainment lawyer from New York. Wealthy, articulate, respectful, handsome and, from the ring on his left hand, married. While Wells will certainly solve her current financial woes, a new crisis was created the moment their eyes met. Suddenly, her peaceful life is turned upside down by unsettling questions, not the least of which is his connection to her ex-husband—an aspiring musician at the time they divorced but now a rock superstar with all the excesses that go with it.
