Waterfront Summers

A weathered cliff house, a mysterious shipwreck, and a love that refuses to fade When artist Nora Delaney retreats to a Victorian cliff house on the rocky Maine coast, she expects solitude, not whispers of a 150-year-old enigma. But The Captain's Watch has its own secrets, drawing her into a past marred by betrayal and ill-fated love. Maritime historian Maddox Hale has spent years chasing the truth behind a notorious 1871 shipwreck. When he discovers Nora now owns the house at the heart of his obsession, he shows up with storm-gray eyes, questions she can't answer, and a presence she can't ignore. Together, they're drawn deeper into a mystery neither imagined. But the closer they get to the truth, the more they risk uncovering secrets meant to stay buried at sea. A sweeping tale of mystery and longing, where the past and present collide on a rugged Maine shore. Perfect for fans of Kate Morton, Susanna Kearsley, and Barbara O'Neal.

Two guarded hearts. One unforgettable summer. When Manhattan attorney Vince Hayward retreats to his late brother's lake house seeking solitude, the last thing he expects is to be captivated by Serenity Lake-or by the shop owner who wants nothing to do with summer visitors. Anna Metcalf has rebuilt her life around The Keepsake, the boutique her mother left behind. She knows better than to trust tourists-handsome ones always leave when the season ends. So when the brooding lawyer keeps showing up in her store, Anna steels herself against the pull between them. But Vince isn't just another visitor. Burned out and grieving, he finds something in this lakeside town he didn't know he was searching for. In Anna's quiet strength and fierce independence, he sees a reason to reconsider everything he thought he wanted. As summer deepens into something neither expected, Anna dares to believe this time might be different-until Vince's Manhattan life intrudes with a crisis that forces them both to choose between the safety of the familiar and the terrifying promise of forever. A deeply emotional small-town romance about second chances, finding home, and the courage to love again-perfect for fans of Debbie Macomber, Susan Mallery, and Robyn Carr.
