The Words We Lost
Book 1 of the Fog Harbor series
384 pages · First published 2023
Ingrid Erikson built her career acquiring fiction for a major publisher, but grief over the death of her best friend and bestselling author Cece has left her unable to read without panic. When the company threatens to cancel Cece’s unfinished series, Ingrid returns to Port Townsend to search for a missing manuscript she believes Cece intended her to find. The search forces her to work with Joel Campbell, Cece’s cousin and Ingrid’s former love, reopening both romantic wounds and questions about what happened before Cece died. Nicole Deese begins the Fog Harbor series with contemporary Christian romance, literary mystery, grief, and the healing power—and danger—of unfinished words.
