She traveled halfway around the world to paradise. But has it been on her doorstep all along? When Ruby Lamont's young son Jake starts telling tall tales about the dad who walked out on them six years ago, it's time to find out the truth. It's not that she wants Kenny back in her life—her charming commitment-phobe Griffin, has always been more of a father-figure to Jake—but if she can understand why Kenny broke her heart, perhaps she can finally move on.

Their journey takes them to heart-shaped Sorrel Island, a Caribbean paradise that, according to legend, was created as an enchanted refuge for lovers. For no-nonsense Ruby, romance is the last thing on her mind. Spoiling for a fight, she confronts her runaway ex, but he's a changed man, or so he claims. With Kenny seemingly having turned a new leaf, Griffin shows up out of the blue, and the tropical heat builds to an inferno. With sparks of lust and jealousy flying in all directions, Ruby has to wonder whether the magic of Sorrel Island is more than just a legend. As the truth of Kenny's departure—and Griffin's arrival—spills out, Ruby must discover whether people can really change—or if she is just destined for heartbreak.
