After losing his prestigious law firm position, attorney Eric Nash returns to his hometown of Hope Harbor, Oregon, expecting a quiet place to regroup before rebuilding his career. Instead, he discovers that his father is transforming their family home into a bed-and-breakfast, complete with noisy renovations and an attractive, outspoken architect named BJ Stevens. Having left her own big-city ambitions behind after a painful relationship, BJ has found contentment in the coastal community and has little interest in a man whose plans will soon take him elsewhere. But when Eric and BJ join forces to help the town's elderly residents, their initial clashes give way to friendship, unexpected attraction, and new possibilities neither anticipated. Surrounded by Hope Harbor's colorful residents, both must reconsider what success, belonging, and lasting happiness really mean. Warmhearted and filled with gentle humor, Christian faith, and second chances, this contemporary romance is perfect for a leisurely afternoon or seaside vacation when you're craving a charming small town, memorable characters, and hope for a fresh beginning.
