At fifty-two, recently divorced architect David Whitmore buys a crumbling cottage in coastal Maine, hoping to rebuild more than just broken walls. When he meets Marcus, the quietly captivating bookstore owner who's spent years protecting his heart after his own romantic disasters, both men must decide if they're brave enough to risk everything for a love that feels like coming home. Set against the backdrop of a small town where second chances bloom like wildflowers through weathered foundations, this is a story about finding the courage to be authentic—even when authenticity comes with a price.
This is another touching tale set in Lighthouse Cove as another man moves in to find peace and himself. It's sweet and gentle as he and the bookshop owner become friends. A lovely read.
