This is the first book of the Three Sisters Island Trilogy.

Nell Channing (aka Helen Remington) is running from her rich and abusive husband. She's left their opulent home in California with practically nothing and driven her way across the US. Her final stop is the Three Sisters Island â a resort island a ferry-ride from the mainland of Massachusetts.

Upon her arrival, she is hired to work at the Café Book owned by Mia Devlin. Despite the protests from Lulu, the woman who practically raised her, Mia loans money to Nell and sets her up in a local cottage that she owns.

She also meets Zack Todd, the local sheriff, and his sister, Ripley, who is also the local sheriff's deputy.

Nell's arrival at the island brings the three descendants of the island's original witches.

Mia is an experienced and practicing witch and she begins to teach Nell, but Ripley has long abandoned her powers and despite the fact that she and Mia were once almost inseparable friends, they aren't now.

Plus, there's the fact that Nell is falling in love with Zack. But she is really still married to her abusive husband, Evan Remington, who thinks she died in a horrific car accident.

Once again, another good story by Nora Roberts.
