The Key to My Heart Inn

A love story with ocean views and a side of heartache.

It’s taken six years for Tess Harper to rebuild her life. Six years of scraping together every last piece of herself after the divorce, of pouring everything she has into The Key to My Heart Inn—her fresh start, her safe place. She never planned to run an inn, never planned to settle in Mistwood Bay, but some dreams take shape when you’re too busy surviving to wish for them. And this one? It’s hers. No risks. No complications. No entanglements.

Grant Cabot doesn’t believe in second chances. Not for himself, and definitely not when it comes to love. As a travel writer, he’s spent years chasing the next destination, the next story—never putting down roots, never looking back. But when an assignment lands him at The Key to My Heart Inn, he finds more than a picturesque retreat. He finds Tess—the woman who challenges him, infuriates him, and makes him wonder if, this time, staying might be worth the risk.

Tess isn’t looking for forever.  Grant doesn’t know how to convince her that forever is exactly where she needs to be.

As desire pulls them closer, secrets from the past and fears for the future threaten to keep them apart. But love, much like the sea, refuses to be controlled.
