Synopsis

Ava McCormick swore she'd never lose herself over a man again. Then she met Chap Fisher. By the time summer fades in Spruce Cove, Alaska, she's in love with the easy-smiling, quick-witted fisherman who is impossible to ignore. The kind of man who makes her believe that starting over might actually work. But when Chap is arrested for a crime that divides the whole town, Ava's world tilts. Everyone believes he's guilty. And deep down, she isn't sure they're wrong. While Ava fights to uncover the truth with the help of her best friend Liz, the ex-fiance who broke Ava's heart makes it clear he isn't quite ready to let go. He drags her back to the life she's tried to leave behind and makes her question if she ever really did. In a town built on loyalty and rumor, Ava must decide what she's willing to risk: her heart, her reputation, or the chance to finally be free of both. Stay Hooked is a story about love and consequence, about trusting what you feel when everyone around you says you're wrong, and about learning that sometimes the hardest truth to face is your own.
