From Amazon and Barnes & Noble bestseller Tana Jenkins comes the first book in her EMMA Award-winning series-a swoony, small-town second-chance romance that will steal your heart.

Sydney St. James believes in three things: animals make everything better, life is more fun with a little dancing in the hallways, and love? Love is for the birds.

By day, she's Mackinac Island's most eccentric high school teacher and resident birdwatching guide, leading tourists through forest trails and sneaking snacks to stray cats. Her life is simple, sunny, and heartbreak-free-just the way she likes it.

Until he comes back.

Devin Fox, her childhood best friend and first almost-everything, traded island life for designer suits and big-city deals. Now he's returned with a plan to shut down the island's historic sailboat school-his late grandfather's legacy and a vital program for local youth.

Sydney's not having it. He says it's business. She says it's betrayal. But the more they clash, the more sparks fly... and the harder it gets to ignore the feelings neither of them buried quite as deep as they thought.

Set against the charming shores of Mackinac Island, Sailing into the Heart is a warm, witty, and emotionally rich romance about found family, fighting for what matters, and finding your way back to the one who got away.
