Synopsis

Sailing into the Heart, Book One of Tana Jenkins' EMMA Award-Winning series.

He broke her heart. The island healed it. Now he's back, causing trouble in paradise.

Sydney St. James is no ordinary teacher—she dances down the hallway, sings during math class, and brings her pet goat for show-and-tell. She is also someone who fled her fear of cars by moving to an island devoid of them. And she could never abandon her menagerie of adopted animals for a normal city.

But when her first love, the slick big-city financier, returns to the island and threatens to sell the beloved sailing school started by her mentor, her ways are put to the test.

Devin Fox isn’t sentimental. Convinced fast cars and faster living will get him wherever he needs, the brash businessman just wants to bury his grandfather and get back to Chicago.

Vowing to save her beloved institute, Sydney shows off the best the island has to offer. But her efforts don't seem to be working, unless you count their pups, who seem to be lost in total puppy love. Will she be able to save the school and perhaps even teach her old flame a thing or two about the true meaning of life before it's too late?

Set on Mackinac Island, Sailing into the Heart is the delightful first book in the St. James Sisters Collection's sweet, interracial, beach romance series. If you like second-chance, opposites-attract stories, strikingly natural waterside settings, and cute doggos, then you’ll adore this whirlwind novella.

Reviews:

"Loved Sydney and Devin's chemistry so much, and I absolutely loved the presence of a purpose besides the beautiful, challenging love story in there. But most importantly, what kept me going was Tana's writing style." Al Bookshelf, Book Reviewer

"I just finished "Sailing into the Heart," and I loved it! Sydney and Devin came to life on the pages. I appreciated how smart they both were; I hate it when main characters make boneheaded decisions I can't respect." -- Anne Mullen Chlovechok, Author, Editor and Playwright

"It's just beautiful. I've had a difficult week and your book is the perfect thing for soothing my heart." -- Cathy Corcoran, Author
