Sometimes finding your way forward begins with finding somewhere to belong.
After nine years in London, Ella Hart returns to Rosehaven Bay carrying little more than a suitcase, a portfolio and the determination to rebuild her career. Her new commission is to help restore an eighteenth-century cottage, but preserving its history means working alongside Daniel Thorne, who has very different ideas about what to save.
As they uncover the cottage’s secrets and learn to work together, professional disagreements give way to trust, unexpected connection, and the possibility of a new beginning.
Because something they thought was lost forever is still right there.
The Harbour Cottage is a warm, low-spice coastal romance about restoration, community, second chances and making room for a different future. Perfect for readers who enjoy capable characters, slow-building relationships, found family and atmospheric seaside settings.
A glimpse inside
The Harbour Cottage stood between them, no longer a battleground and not yet a finished home, holding the quiet shape of everything they had left unsaid.
