Publisher's Synopsis
The humiliation of a very public rejection to her marriage proposal drove Grace Taylor from Waco, Texas, to a brand new life in Galveston, the most exciting city on the southern coast. The island proved to be the best place to heal a broken heart, and by day it was: the restaurants, the shops, the arts, the spectacular mansions and social gatherings, the beautiful beaches and bathhouses, and all on the arm of the most sought-after man on the island. Life was idyllic, until her head touched the pillow each night. The ocean frightened her, but the experts said the slope of the ocean floor protected the island from devastating storms. September 8, 1900, proved them wrong and changed the island forever, but that wasn't the only storm on the horizon.
