The Burning Ocean — Sadie Cuffe; Sophie Cuffe

Calvin Brody lost something in the war. His work on the trails of Acadia National Park brings him solace, but no answers. Then she comes in like a rip tide: Beatrix Paget, artist and owner of a summer mansion on Mount Desert Island. The uptown girl isn't his type. Why can't she see that? Because Trixie is too busy pestering him to be the subject of her newest painting. When his friend, Ralph, invites Calvin to a clambake, guess who's hosting it? When Ralph asks Calvin to be his best man, guess who the maid of honor will be? Like it or not, Someone is intent on throwing the two of them together. In spite of Calvin's resistance, Trixie surprises him with her love of Acadia's rugged granite mountains; but Calvin is still searching, and Trixie knows he's hiding something. As forest fire sweeps the island, will they be lost to each other forever? With a touch of history and sweet romance, The Burning Ocean will transport you to the wild grandeur of Acadia National Park and, in a real-life plot twist, will keep your heart in your throat.
