Coming Home to Brannock Cove

Tess Harlow left Brannock Cove at eighteen and never looked back. Sixteen years later her father falls in the family boatyard, and she drives through the night to the small Nova Scotia harbour town she swore she'd outgrown.
The first person she sees at his hospital bed is Ben Mercer.
Ben was the boy who let her go without a word. Now he runs the harbour, and the lease on the Harlow boatyard runs out on July 1. A developer wants the land. The fishing fleet needs a new breakwater before someone loses a boat. And the man who writes the recommendation to the board is the one man Tess never stopped measuring everyone else against.
Tess has six weeks, a stubborn father on a walking frame, four brothers and sisters with opinions, a half-built lobster boat that has to be in the water by June, and a rowboat in the loft with her name pencilled on the transom.
Ben has a job to do, a younger brother he raised on his own, and a secret that could cost him everything the moment it comes out.
Neither of them has ever been any good at asking for what they want. This summer, the whole town is watching.
A warm, closed-door second chance romance about family, a working harbour and the courage to say "stay." Book 1 of The Harlows of Brannock Cove. Each book tells one Harlow sibling's love story and can be read on its own.
