Alice Emerson and her best friend Sasha Miller have decided to swap inland living for the picturesque beaches of the Outer Banks. They pour everything they have into launching an ice cream shop in the little cottage on the beach where Alice spent blissful childhood summers with her grandfather. As Alice and Sasha add color to the walls of the shop, their fresh new life begins to take shape, and love is the last thing on Alice's mind. But she keeps running into the mysterious Jack Murphy, and finds herself falling for his golden-boy charm and warm smile. With everything on her plate, Alice tries not to think he could be the one for her. Jack's only there for the season, and Alice has had her fair share of heartbreak. Then she discovers an old locket tucked away that contains a family secret that turns Alice's world upside down and might just threaten the future of the ice cream shop.
