Part of Lucky Harbor, book 1
First published 2010
Maddie Moore stands in the wreckage of her Los Angeles life. Her boyfriend is gone by her choice. Her job vanished without her say. She packs up and drives north to Lucky Harbor, Washington, where her free-spirited mother left her a rundown inn by the coast. The building needs everything. New roof, new plumbing, new hope. Maddie wants to turn it into something beautiful, but she needs her two half-sisters Tara and Chloe to make it work. They resist the idea. The contractor she hires complicates everything. He's tall with dark hair and eyes that make her forget her promise to avoid men entirely. His mouth doesn't help her resolve either. Maddie fights to rebuild the inn while battling memories that won't stay buried. Lucky Harbor might become home if she can stop running from her past.
