Nora Kelleher fixes broken places for a living. She has never once stayed to see one healed.
Six inns in six states, and she always leaves before winter. It's the one thing she's good at that never lets her down. Then a dying innkeeper on a forgotten stretch of the Maine coast hires her for reasons she doesn't explain - to save a fog-wrapped harbor house the guests call the Fisherman's Solace and the locals just call the Widow.
Samuel Maren has never left anything in his life.
He's the grandson who stayed - the man the whole town leans on, who keeps the Widow standing on love and duct tape, who remembers everyone's order and everyone's grief. He's been needed by everyone.
He's just never been sure he's been chosen by anyone.
Then his grandmother dies, and her will stuns the family she spent thirty years trying to gather: her scattered grandchildren must run the failing inn together for one full year - or lose it. And the will names seven grandchildren.
Everyone in the room counts six.
One harbor. One impossible year. A family with a locked door in it, a town that gets in the line when the storm comes - and a woman who always runs, learning the hardest thing Sparrow's Reach has to teach: that being needed and being wanted were never the same thing, and there's a whole world of difference between being kept and being chosen.
Come in out of the fog. The coffee's on, and the fire's lit.
The Fisherman's Solace is Book One of the Sparrow's Reach series - an emotional, slow-burn, small-town love story wrapped in a family saga of secrets, grief, and forgiveness. Low heat, big heart. A complete story with a satisfying ending, and more Sparrow's Reach to come.
