But the one man who can help her is determined to make her question every decision she has ever made—including the man she’s about to marry.
Former Navy SEAL and son of the current Maryland governor, Colin Foley, is finally starting to feel whole again after losing his leg on a career-ending deployment in Afghanistan. After struggling for months to figure out what to do with his post-military life, he’s found a new mission—opening a rehab center for wounded veterans on the peaceful Chesapeake Bay island. All he needs now is a woman to share his new life with…and he knows exactly who he wants.

I Was Provided A ARC For The Release Tour
A gripping, beautiful story. Full of hope, love, family, and second chances.
Becca Haddaway has spent her whole life on Heron Island. She teaches there, she has family and friends there, and millions of memories in this little coastal town. She dreams of marrying and raising kids there. But all that doesn't fit into the plan her fiance has for them. To marry and move from her home. And it eats at her day in and day out. She never imaged a life without Heron Island being part of it. When threats of the elementary school being closed and her friends needing help, Becca feels she owes it to them to help anyway she can. And with the appearance of a handsome wounded warrior, Colin Foley, Becca's doubts about marriage and leaving the island start becoming more complicated.
Colin Foley, wounded ex Navy Seal, has come to Heron Island to start over. To make a life for himself after losing so much in the war. Opening up a facility for wounded soldiers, finding a home, and eventually a wife and kids is all Colin wants. And he feels like Heron Island is just what he needs. With the news of the school closing and his friends being affected by it, Colin steps up along side Becca to do everything in his power to help. He never imagined along the way he would start to feel things for the big hearted, beautiful, Becca Haddaway. She's engaged. She's leaving the island. But the connection that pulls Becca and Colin together every time they're around each other, is something he just can't push aside.
Wind Chime Wedding is such a lovely chapter to a beautiful series. We get to see all the characters we connected with in wind chime cafe. Like Will, Annie, Taylor, Della and more. While getting to dive into Colin's & Becca's world. I rooted for these two from the first chapter. The struggle each one goes through felt so real. Many serious issues are brought up in this story, and i felt that Sophie Moss address them in such a real and true way. It mixed very nicely with the elements of family and friends, of hope and doubts, and of love and loss.
Colin & Becca's story was breathtaking. I loved to see their bound for one another grow through every chapter. But you also get to see them blossom on their own.
The words flow like poetry. Every turn of the page made me want more. The friendships and love that these characters share, the feel of being home when you read of Heron Island, the emotions Becca and Colin express, make for such a griping read.
I'm very excited to see what Sophie Moss brings us next.
