Thirty-two year old Molly Bean is a popular lobster fisherman in the sleepy coastal community of Gin Cove, Maine. Admittedly, she hasn't had the best of luck with relationships and the chance of falling in love with any of Gin Cove's population is slim to none.

Carolyn Stanley, a successful defense attorney from Bar Harbor, has found that she enjoys vacationing and spending time in Gin Cove. When Carolyn sends her high-speed power boat careening across the water on an otherwise quiet morning, splashing Molly's lobster boat and nearly sending her over-board, Molly finds herself ready to throttle the out-of-towner.

The sparks that fly between the two soon turn to fascination and anticipation as their attraction boils.

Then a complication develops when a professor in Molly's hometown is murdered and someone very close to Molly is involved. Can the two stop clashing long enough to see that their differences really aren't so great after all?
