The Boy from the Boatyard

The Boy from the Boatyard — Book 8 of The Wren's Cove Romance Series. He left Wren's Cove at eighteen. The boatyard, and the girl who worked in it, did not.

Rory comes back for a few weeks and a family obligation, expecting old wood and older grudges. What he finds is Tide and Timber still standing, Gus having a bad day he will not admit to, and a drawing that answers a question he never asked. Pearl Morton has an opinion. The old photographs have another. Boston is still waiting — and a commission arrives that would make leaving very easy indeed.

What to expect

• Second-chance, childhood-friends romance with a working boatyard heart
• Winter on the coast, honest conversations and a spring epilogue
• Standalone with the full Wren's Cove cast in the background

About the series

Wren's Cove is a small coastal town in Maine where the harbour ties every story together and nobody stays a stranger for long. Every book stands completely on its own — start anywhere — though readers who follow the series will keep meeting familiar faces: Pearl Morton, the Harbor Cup, the lighthouse, and a town that remembers everyone who ever called it home.

These are clean, closed-door romances: warm, character-driven love stories with no explicit content, written to be read in an evening or two. 98 pages, 16 chapters and an epilogue.
