β¦ Synopsis
As an engineering geologist, Anais (Ana) Bloom is thrilled when she arrives in Sainte-Luce-Sur-Mer to study the effects of climate changes and rising sea levels on the shoreline of the Saint-Laurent River. Soon after she settles in at the quaint White Sheep Inn, she develops a friendship with the innkeeper and her canine companion. The innkeeperβs granddaughter, however, is a whole other story. Melodie is attractive, perhaps, but sheβs also impulsive, has a bad attitude, and doesnβt share an ounce of her grandmotherβs hospitality.
Melodie Beaulieu has never planned to follow in her grandmotherβs footsteps and become an innkeeper. The only thing sheβs wanted all her life is to live by the sea, in her hometown. When Ana Bloom comes to the White Sheep Inn and threatens her entire way of living, she simply wonβt have it. She despises the scientist and her big theories and chooses to ignore her good looks and that damn red, unruly hair of hers.
Ana and Melodie would gladly keep staying out of each otherβs way, but Mother Nature has other plans. Trapped inside the inn when a strong storm surge hits the beach community, theyβre forced to come together to face the terrifying event and its aftermath. Can they rise above their conflicting beliefs and let their attraction take the lead?
