I really enjoyed this. The hero and heroine used to be in love, their families close but the heroine's parents were against them because of their family's religious beliefs but that didn't stop them and when they were about to consummate their love, an accident changed everything, robbing the heroine Mari of her parents, the hero's drunk father dead and the one responsible, then came the law-suits which made the hero's mother bitter.
Mari and Marc meet again after fifteen years and give in to their desires, but Mari wises up to the bad blood between their families and backs off and a few weeks later returns to Harbor Town to tie up loose ends and start a family center with the money they got for the accident.
Marc wants their relationship to work and tells Mari to take a chance, but she is divided between her brother and his mother, there is too much of a bad blood even when Marc makes her happy and then she finds out she is expecting.
I did feel the heroine dithered a lot but I really enjoyed the book.
