The Widow's Light

A Spicy Small Town Romance · Harper Vale

A widow inherits a B&B she does not want. The event planner for the storm festival books the whole inn and will not leave. One bed becomes a joke. Then it doesn’t.

Claire Bennett is forty-two and the Widow’s Light is a building that emails her in the night. Sadie Ruiz is thirty-eight, books the whole inn for a July overflow weekend, and treats a broken reservation system like a personal insult.

They share the closed-for-repair suite because the aunt believed in daybeds. They share a linen closet because the house is full. When Pell & Associates offers a September buyout that would sell the inn to the marina group in all but deed, Claire types no. Sadie stays. The light stays.

Spicy sapphic small-town romance. Forced proximity. Found family at the Split Hull. HEA. Book 7 in the Wrecker's Bay series.
