Anchored to You: A Closed-Door Fake-Dating Romance on the Maine Coast

Wren Hartwell needs a fake boyfriend for one festival season. She never gets as far as asking-the harbor master has already said yes. Which should have been her first clue.

For nine years, Wren has built flawless weddings for other people and kept one strict rule: never the bride. Not since the day she stood in white in front of the whole town and waited for a man who never came.

Now Julian Vance is back in Larkspur Cove-with his name on the festival banners and a fiancée on his arm.

Wren has a solution. One fake relationship. Carefully planned. Over by Labor Day.

Leo Tran is the obvious choice. He's steady, quiet, impossible to rattle, and has been arguing with Wren since they were twelve.

Leo agrees far too quickly.

Because Leo has a secret Wren never planned for.

He's been in love with her for twenty-two years.

One summer. One small town watching. One storm-stranded island. One bed nobody planned to share.

And one fake relationship that is becoming very difficult to keep fake.

Anchored to You is Book Two of The Nightingale Inn, a closed-door small-town romance with fake dating, childhood rivals, slow burn, one bed, meddling neighbors, and a happily-ever-after.
