Hold Fast

A Spicy Small Town Romance · Harper Vale

Jude’s crew lead is a widower with two kids. The new teacher is not their nanny and not a replacement wife. A second piece of wreckage washes up on a field-trip beach. They hold fast anyway.

Paige Ellison came to Wrecker's Bay to teach, not to audition for a vacancy. Finn Okada is thirty-seven, Jude Harlan’s crew, a father of two who packs lunches and grief in the same bag. Kenji is ten. Mina is eight. The door gets locked. Grandma gets the storm nights.

They sleep together because they asked, not because the town needed a new family photo. Then a January field trip finds a swollen hatch lid on the south beach—Pell stencil, current barge number, not a redo of last October’s crate. Finn calls Holt. Jude is a witness, not the hero. The kids stay inland.

Spicy small-town romance. Single dad. Found family at the Split Hull. HEA. Book 4 in the Wrecker's Bay series.
