About this audiobook

Hallie Navarro knows how to save a failing inn. Staying long enough to call it home is another matter. Twelve years after leaving Larkin Cove, Oregon, Hallie returns for her brother Tommy's wedding and finds the Larkin Inn water-damaged, half-renovated, and facing a sale that could change its future. With the wedding-day deadline closing in, the inn's owner, Odette Rourke, needs a practical recovery plan—and Hallie is the consultant who can build one. The job has a clear scope and an end date. She intends to keep it that way. The complication is Gabe Rourke: harbor boatwright, Tommy's best friend, and the man Hallie kissed the night before she left town. Gabe stepped back that night without explaining why. For twelve years, Hallie has believed the kiss mattered more to her; he has spent those same years keeping a promise to Tommy and hiding behind quiet acts of care.
