Her heart seemed too full for the love that swept through her as she felt a circle of dreams slide into place around them.
He had come home after too many years of shadows.
So had she.
Something darted over her shoulder as she crossed the dunes toward the beach. A second orange blur followed.
Olivia looked up in surprise as bright wings fluttered around her head, fine but supple, with a strength to fight Pacific gales.
The monarchs had come back to the cove, stopping for red clover and goldenrod and milkweed to fuel their long journey to the fog-swept groves of Northern California.
The air seemed to flash with wings, golden and orange around her. One circle was complete, Olivia thought in awe as the small, hardy travelers looped in graceful spirals around her, full of magic.

AUTHOR’S NOTE
Thank you for joining Olivia and Rafe on their twisting journey through sadness and loss—back to home, friends and love. With the Harbor House open at last, all the Summer Island friends are going to be busy!
So is the new acting sheriff. Old secrets never stay hidden, and Rafe has vowed to keep the island and those he loves safe.
I hope that Summer Island’s magic continues to touch you as it has touched me. In its fog-swept coves and quiet streets friendship runs deep, and the love of good yarn runs even deeper. Olivia will be creating new patterns for the Island Yarns shop, and you can find all the details at my website— www.christinaskye.com.
If you were intrigued by Rafe’s guacamole recipe, check out the Southwest recipes on my website. I have a secret twist on Rafe’s version. Yum! Don’t tell Jilly.
You can find all the techniques and how to make the special ingredients at

. While you’re there, check out my favorite chai tea recipes, too. I haven’t forgotten knitting—or crochet goodies either.
As summer sunlight fades into winter storms, the Harbor House will shelter old friends and new strangers, drawn to its bright windows. Four strong women will fight to protect what they love most. And their remarkable men will be right beside them. Their stories will continue....
I’ll be watching for you down at the cove.
With warmest wishes,
Christina
