This is the rewrite of An Unfinished Story (published in 2020). The story is the same, but the character arcs are stronger, the stakes are higher, and the pay-off is more rewarding. Enjoy!

Two strangers, one island, and a bustling bed-and-breakfast.

Joanie Wilson has always played it safe, but her fifteen years of loyalty to the newspaper seem like they count for nothing when her boss announces the business's impending sale. And though she doesn't really love her job, she fights to save it by accepting an assignment to Live Like a Local on a remote island off Rhode Island.

Carly Davis, the gregarious innkeeper, feels trapped into running the family's bed-and-breakfast. With a deceased father and a mother with dementia, she is the last hope to carry out the legacy of the inn. When Joanie arrives and offers to help in exchange for rent, she sees a chance to break free from her stagnant life.

As Joanie immerses herself in island life and meets a handsome police officer, she questions if there's more to life than she's been settling for. And as Carly grows closer to her new tenant and her mother's health worsens, she sees a path out of her family obligation and toward the man who got away.

As the summer ends and time is running out, will Joanie and Carly leap into the unknown or will they lose their chance at the lives they always wanted?

If you love island escapes, transformative journeys, slow burn romance, and friendship fiction, you'll love this first book in the Block Island Saga.
