Rhode Island, June 1900

She wants a day of freedom.
He's looking for redemption.
A simple charade can accomplish both...

While answering a summons from her formidable grandmother to join her in New York Society, Harper impulsively leaves her train in hopes of a day of freedom on Block Island. Instead, she's nearly trampled by a mob, only to be pulled to safety by a gallant but impossibly grouchy stranger.

Thomas Montgomery is a journalist haunted by his past, and the only way to atone himself is to catch the last ferry to Block Island to cover a story there. But when the ferry is sold out and he inadvertently becomes responsible for maddening, hazel-eyed Harper Whitley, an opportunity presents itself in the form of a quarreling couple who leaves their tickets on the ground.

Thomas and Harper agree to impersonate the couple to reach Block Island, but a mistaken identity and a slew of mishaps force them to prolong their charade. As Harper begins to see the man behind the stoic veneer and Thomas feels himself softening towards her irrepressible spirit, suspicions and secrets threaten to tear them apart.

They need to work together to protect their deception... but can they also protect their hearts?
