One year ago, Maggie Montgomery's life crashed down around her. Her hope for a future and family died with her husband, lost at sea in a shipwreck. Caught in the constant pull of grief, Maggie finds herself isolated and withdrawn instead of bubbly and full of life. The creative spark that fueled her art has gone dark. The only solace Maggie finds is in her new puppy, Jovi, and their walks on the beach.
That is, until naval officer Grayson Smith appears at her door with his canine companion Perdita in tow, bearing a final love letter from her husband. What starts as a mutual admiration of dogs and the sea blossoms into a budding romance, but can Maggie let go of the love she has lost to embrace her connection with Grayson?
