Love Unexpected — Sarah Bates

When Scarlett Pierce left behind everything she knew to find the brother she had never known, she didn't really know what to expect. All she knew was that she wanted desperately to meet him, to see if she could find, finally, someone that she could share some kind of connection with that she'd never felt with any of the rest of her family. Little did she know that when she arrived on the small island town of Stevens Island that her life was about to change in ways she had never expected, and when she meets Jack MacAllister her whole world is thrown for a loop.He's sweet and kind, but there's a quiet sadness about him that pulls at her in ways she can't quite explain. But as they grow closer and she learns of the mistakes he's made in the past, can she bring herself to look passed them, and even help him learn to let them go? Or has he lost all chances at love and redemption?
