Summary: Sometimes it Seems Impossible to Let Sleeping Dogs Lie
Review: Selby Maitland's parents died when she was in her infancy and she was raised by her grandmother Maisy in England. When Maisy was on her death bed she told Selby a secret about her past, something that hurt her and it made Selby angry. So angry that after Maisy passed away, Selby took leave from her job as a journalist on a woman's magazine and flew to Newfoundland in Canada to seek revenge against Danny Forest.

When she gets there she finds her man is living in a converted lighthouse in a place called Savage Harbour. He's not at home, so she sits on some rocks, unaware of the fact the rocks have been dubbed "Suicide Rocks" because of the deadly tide. Fortunately a stranger comes by in the nick of time and saves her. A stranger named Danny Forest. But this Danny forest is about fifty years too young to be the man she's after.

It doesn't take long for her to learn Danny has a grandfather with the same name, who is touring Italy, but will be back in about a week. However by the time that week is up, she is in love with the grandson. So what is she to do? If she confronts the grandfather she could very well lose the man she loves? But she'd come all this way and she owes it to Maisy.

And there you have the beginning and some of the plot for this excellent story. Ms. Scott is a gifted romance writer who never disappoints. Her stories are always peopled with characters we care about and that is certainly the case here. The Newfoundland setting was a nice touch as were the townsfolk. I liked this one very much and I think you will as well.
