Love at Harbor's End

She came to settle an estate. He came to lock a door. Neither of them planned to stay.

Retired paramedic Evie Mercer has spent thirty-seven years being the calmest person in someone else's emergency. Now she's fifty-eight, her knee has opinions, and her late aunt has left her a lighthouse on the Maine coast, along with an agreement with the town that she never mentioned. Keep Harbor's End open to the community by summer's end, or watch Aunt Ruth's life's work quietly close.

The first thing Evie finds is a new padlock on the tower door. The man who fitted it is Dan Rowan, marine electrician, volunteer rescue captain, and the most infuriatingly careful person in Bellwether Cove. Dan knows exactly what happens when an old building and good intentions meet on a narrow stair. He also knows what it costs to promise someone you'll keep them safe.

Evie doesn't need rescuing. Dan doesn't make promises he can't keep. But as a summer of storms, town meetings and late suppers on the cottage porch pulls them closer, they'll have to decide what they're willing to risk, and who gets to decide.

Love at Harbor's End is a clean, closed-door, later-in-life romance about second chances, small-town community and two grown-ups choosing each other with their eyes open. Book 1 of the Harbor's End Romances; complete with a happily ever after.
