Saltwater and Serendipity (A Love on Turtle Island Book 2)

When a beautiful stranger approaches young millionaire Frank Flowers on the Turtle Island ferry and declares her undying love, his normally buttoned-up world cracks wide open. Moments later, she admits it was all a dare: say “I love you” to a stranger.

Her name is Rose, and she’s on the island to fulfill a very special bucket list. Intrigued, Frank ditches his rigid routine to help. Together, they blow bubbles, share beach picnics, and wobble their way across the boardwalk on a tandem bike. With Rose, Frank feels like a kid again—free, alive, and happier than he’s been in years.

He’s ready to explore a relationship with this "unicorn of a girl," but fate has other plans. Before they exchange last names or phone numbers, Rose disappears. And she’s only on Turtle Island for one week.

Determined not to lose her, Frank launches a desperate search, enlisting the help of his entire family—and half the island—to track down the one woman who’s turned his life upside down. Everywhere he goes, he hears stories about Rose: how she lit up a stranger’s day, how her laughter lingered long after she left. With each tale, Frank falls harder.

As the clock ticks down, hope begins to slip through his fingers. But signs keep surfacing—hints that the universe itself is pushing them back together. If Frank can find her before she leaves, he’s ready to drop to one knee and prove that sometimes, love at first sight isn’t just a dare…it’s destiny.
