Tangled Lines: A Hatteras Island Novel - Paperback

by Jan Dawson (Author)

Jo thought she was ready to make the move. She had worked for years to achieve her goal. Now she was leaving Hatteras Island, along with the life and the people she knew and loved. A summer at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute was a dream come true. She could focus on her work and leave the distractions of Hatteras behind. She was sure that living and working in a new environment would be exciting and fulfilling. Saying goodbye to her parents, grandparents, and her lifelong friend Dare would be difficult; however, JoBell believed it would all be worth it in the end. But life in the lab isn't what Jo envisioned. She finds herself often alone and undeniably homesick. When she hears unsettling news from Hatteras about everyone close to her, she begins to question her dedication to her work. But then her major benefactor, Adam Longford, starts taking more than a passing interest in her research and in her. To her surprise she's finding him more and more attractive and her feelings are in turmoil. Then one night she receives a phone call no one wants to receive, and she realizes she has a decision to make. Will she stick with her plans for the future, a future that now just might include Adam, or will she head back to the island, and the life she thought she'd left behind? Is Dare just her forever best friend or is he something much, much more? "Tangled Lines" is a stand-alone sweet romance, continuing the characters from both "Storm Season" and "Hooked on You." If you enjoy stories about resolving inner conflicts, learning to follow one's heart, and realizing what's truly important in life, you'll enjoy this story of untangling all of the lines of love.
