Mackinac Heritage

A mysterious woman comes to Mackinac Island with secrets of her own— and seeks refuge in the love and kindness of the Swartz Family. But can they trust her?

Alex Swartz has always been the black sheep of the family. For years, he's kept to himself, operating the bed and breakfasts across Mackinac Island, and never daring to dream of happiness, love, or family of his own. All that changes one late night at the Willow Bed and Breakfast, when the beautiful and secretive Lily arrives with two young boys. Over the next few weeks, Alex finds himself falling in love with Lily and caring for her children. Finally, he's needed. His heart grows twice its size.

Unfortunately, Lily isn't truthful about who she really is.

Meanwhile, Emma Swartz is very pregnant with her first child. When her water breaks too early, her plans to have the baby off the island are thwarted. Alex's new friend, Lily, is a midwife, and Lily soon steps in to save the day. For a little while, everyone is relieved.

But Lily's "chance" arrival on Mackinac Island isn't so coincidental. Emma's pregnancy and Lily's lies are very connected, so much so that, once the baby comes, they both must face past trauma and fight for better futures for their children.

Can Alex really trust Lily? Can Lily put back together the pieces of her shattered life? And can Emma find peace after a year of changes?
