Find Me in the Stars (Jonathon Island | Season 2 #7)

He gave up on second chances. She makes him wonder if he has one left.

Everyone Lila Thompson has ever loved has left her. Her mother died when she was young. Her father chose alcohol over his own daughter. Her brother vanished into his own life without looking back. She's learned the hard she's never anyone's first choice. Never the one people stay for.

So she runs to a tiny Michigan island with nothing but hope and her mother's turquoise locket—a heart-shaped pendant her mom gave her before she died. "Protect it until you find someone worthy of your love."

She's starting to wonder if that person exists.

Ethan Sullivan hasn't let anyone close since burying his wife five years ago. He still wears his wedding ring like armor. His eight-year-old son Sam has retreated into grief so deep Ethan can't reach him. He's frozen solid—and he tells himself that's safer than feeling anything.

Then Lila shows up to teach his son.

She's warm. She's stubborn. She's sunshine in human form. She refuses to let either of them stay broken.

She teaches Sam to ride a bike—and watches a little boy come back to life. She makes Ethan laugh for the first time in years—and watches a man remember what hope feels like.

But Lila is terrified of being abandoned again. And Ethan is terrified of losing someone again.

The moment he finally takes off that ring? The moment she hands him the heart she's been protecting her whole life?
Bring tissues.

Find Me in the Stars is a tender single-dad romance about healing, second chances, and discovering that love isn't about guarantees—it's about choosing to stay. Perfect for fans of Denise Hunter, Becky Wade, and Susan May Warren.
