Until high school hit and his parents learned he was gay and disowned him. Even his beloved Aunt Marguerite, a full-time island resident, refused to see him. So decades later, when his aunt dies and leaves Luke her estate, including a charming cottage and antique business, it\u2019s a shock. He returns to the island with one goal: sell the properties and get back to Toronto. But when he\u2019s attacked at the cottage by a seemingly random guy, who\u2019s making crazy claims about his aunt, and when that guy is discovered the next morning dead in the garden, Luke can\u2019t help but get pulled deeper into island life. Thanks also go to the Mountie, Sergeant Munro, aka Officer Beefcake, who, wouldn\u2019t you know, was a childhood friend of Luke\u2019s and still harbors a grudge for Luke disappearing all those years ago. There\u2019s plenty to enjoy in this qouzy, from a budding romance to more crimes that need unearthing. And while Luke may not be the most charming of protagonists<em>\u2014<\/em>he\u2019s just a wee bit bitchy and somewhat of a snob<em>\u2014<\/em>he\u2019s certainly realistic. For anyone needing a quick vacation, this is it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Growing up, Luke Tremblay loved being sent off to spend his summers with family on a small hamlet on Vancouver Island.
