Resisting Samantha — Zoe Dawson

Samantha Wharton had escaped New York City to settle in Suttontowne and run Imogene's, a quaint and historical eatery, struggling with a devastating painful past. She thought her heart had died along with her family, but when she meets Chase Sutton, the fallen son of the town's founder, she cannot seem to hang onto her bruised and battered heart.

Chase Sutton was tired of being told what to do and whom to know. After the discovery of a devastating family secret, he left his life completely behind and opened up a bait and tackle shop supplying seafood to the local merchants. The simple life suits him fine. It isn't until he falls into Samantha's sad eyes that he realizes what he's lost. But how can he offer Samantha a future when he hasn't dealt with his own past?
