Happy Friday!
There's a new addition to Irene Hannon's charming Hope Harbor series this month! It sounds like exactly the type of contemporary novel I love, and I'm looking forward to reading it very soon. Enjoy the peek at it!
First Line: He'd inherited a lighthouse?
From Page 56: Based on his clipped delivery and fierce scowl, there was nothing good about his morning—and the man didn't seem receptive to chitchat... or an offer of help.
ABOUT THE BOOK
A crumbling lighthouse is not part of the inheritance Army doctor Ben Garrison expects to claim when he journeys to Hope Harbor. Fresh out of the service, he wants only to unload the tower of bricks, decompress from years of treating battlefield trauma, and prepare to launch his civilian career.
Hope Harbor Herald editor Marci Weber has other ideas. She may not be a Hope Harbor native, but the small Oregon seaside town has become home—and she's determined to save the Pelican Point landmark.
Sparks fly as the two go head to head over the fate of the lighthouse. But when they start to cooperate, a different kind of fire ignites. And as they work together, might Hope Harbor heal the hearts of these two romance-wary souls?
Bestselling author Irene Hannon invites readers back to their favorite town for a story that will light a beacon of hope within their hearts.
Now, feel free to leave a line from a book near you in the comments below.

"Baby steps. Sarah Beth LeClair forced one foot in front of the other and willed herself to soak in the new life bursting around her on the University of Mississippi campus."

Looks like a great read for this time of year. :)
