The Restaurant on Plum Island by Amy Rafferty

Carley Donovan used to have it all. Fame under her stage name, Stella Hart. Fortune. A high-profile marriage to fellow Hollywood actor, Davin Giles. But then a scandal with her ex-husband ruined her reputation and she was forced to disappear from the public eye.

Now, Carley embraces the quiet life by spending her days running a Restaurant on Plum Island. It’s quaint, it’s quiet, and it’s just the fresh start she needs, away from the glitz and glam of her old life.
But when a film crew from the studio that spelt the end of her acting career descends upon the island, Carley nearly panics. The director, Ethan Blackwell, is a recluse and an introvert, but he’s sure to recognize her if she’s not careful. After all, he’s the one who ruined her career.
And she’s the one he blames for his last movie’s failure.
The two play a game of cat and mouse, mistaken identity, and misunderstandings as sparks fly. There is more to the introverted Ethan than meets the eye, and together, they start peeling back the layers of each other’s tumultuous pasts.

The Restaurant on Plum Island is a story about redemption, second chances, and two individuals haunted by their pasts who come together to heal, forgive, and find love in unexpected places.
