Natalie has always been the fun Grant sister: the one with the
constantly packed suitcase and the zest for life. But this carefree
existence is wearing on her. When her oldest sister, Olivia, invites her
to Lavender Island for three months, Natalie jumps at the chance to look
after her niece, prove she's not irresponsible, and take a much-needed
vacation from men.
Her "mancation" takes an unexpected turn when she spots a group of sick
sea lions and calls on microbiologist Elliott Sherman for help. Elliott
is everything Natalie is not--quiet, studious, and geeky. Yet there's a
simmering sexiness under those glasses that she's quick to notice. And
Elliott finds himself taken with her gorgeous free spirit. Despite their
chemistry, outside forces threaten to keep them apart--including a
secret Natalie has never shared. Can the allure of Lavender Island and
its quirky residents open her heart and lead her to lasting love?
