Stranded together
Once passionately in love, college sweethearts Teague and Joanna Darby never imagined they'd end up on the brink of divorce. But the success they've found in their careers has taken them on different paths, and maybe it's time to go their separate ways.
But before they do, a friend advises them to spend one last weekend together, at the very least so they can agree on who gets the dog. When a ferry strike leaves Teague and Joanna stranded together at their beloved beach cottage, it promises to be the most awkward weekend ever. Or the perfect chance to fall for each other all over again . . .
