About this ebook

She wanted something more, but it may be more than she bargained for. 

Gansett Island midwife Victoria Stevens loves taking care of people, in her job and in her personal life, especially when it comes to her boyfriend of one year, sexy Irishman Shannon O’Grady. Fueled by combustible chemistry, her relationship with Shannon has been H-O-T from the start. But she’s begun to wonder whether theirs is destined to be a short-term fling or possibly the love of a lifetime. When she goes looking for answers about his past, she learns something she was better off not knowing and isn’t sure what to do with her newfound information. What will happen when Shannon finds out she’s been asking questions about him, and will they be able to overcome the obstacles standing between them and happily ever after? Find out in this first Gansett Island Episode, which also includes the arrival of some long-awaited island babies! 

About the Gansett Island Episodes… 

From Marie: My fictional island has become such a huge part of my life—and yours—over these last six years, and I’ve created so many characters who speak to me between books and during the writing of new ones. I can’t possibly give them all a new story in every book, but I still have so much to say about them. With that in mind, I’ll be launching a new “Gansett Island Episodes” series in 2017, featuring shorter stories about past characters who readers love and want more of. Mixed in with these episodes will be at least one full-length book a year. So we’ll have plenty more from our favorite island, with new stories for past characters as well as all-new stories, too. I’m looking forward to this new adventure and hope you’ll take the ferry to Gansett for the new episodes!

Short but still good! Great book, but so sad it's a novella! Each return to Gansett Island is like returning to visit family - unfortunately this was like a quick evening catch up rather than a weekend visit......over far too soon! However this doesn't mean Marie has scrimped on the drama, emotion, heartbreak or passion, it is as normal jam packed full of all of these! It was fantastic to see deeper into Victoria and Shannon's relationship and to catch up with the rest of the 'Gansett Family'. I enjoyed every page, just wished there were more. I cannot wait to go back to Gansett
