High Water

A Spicy Small Town Romance · Harper Vale

Jude’s sister wants the marina to stay local. The Portland buyer is not a cartoon villain — he is a man who can be moved. The Hester drowning and the sale were never separate. High water comes for everyone. They choose the town.

Hannah Harlan is thirty-eight and done letting Pell & Associates wear a new shirt. Rhys Callahan is forty-three. He bought the stain. He can write the check. He is not here for a sunset.

They walk the slips. They open the file: Ellis Harlan, October 2018, Jude on gutters, a 2027 barge, a two-year limp sale. They rewrite the deal — working-local slips, outside capital on town terms, the Hester named in a record and not a special. They do not resurrect the dead. They do not sell the green.

Spicy small-town romance. Enemies to a compact. Found family at the Split Hull. HEA. Book 8 and the bow of the Wrecker's Bay series.
