After a panic attack brought on by burnout shatters her perfect corporate life, Chloe Daniels walks away from the career that has been slowly draining her. Trading city chaos for Cape Cod calm, she’s ready for quiet mornings, ocean breezes, and most importantly, no stress. All she wants to do is focus on finally writing her book and reinventing her life.
But when she meets Jett Lawson, a gorgeous tattoo artist with a penchant for books and major bad boy vibes, she can't seem to stay away. He sees straight through her polished persona, and there's more to him than meets the eye. He’s everything Chloe doesn’t need…and exactly what she can’t resist. Jett pushes her to loosen up and chase everything she’s been too scared to want. Falling for him means risking the carefully controlled world she left behind and letting go of the woman she’s always been told she should be.
On the coast where she came to find herself, Chloe might just lose her heart instead.

Series of interconnected standalone novels (each couple has their own book and recurring roles throughout the series)
I’m a writer, reader, and all-around book lover. I’ve jokingly told people I’ll read anything if pressed, including a car manual. My favorite stories are the ones that make you laugh, hold your breath, and quickly scan the room to make sure no one’s staring when you get to the spicy parts.
After spending almost fifteen years in the corporate world, I left to pursue my dream of writing novels and haven’t looked back. I’m married to a small-town guy of my own, and mama to a fearless little guy, several goats, and more chickens than I can count.
All of my books are 100% human written, by someone who loves to read and write.
This book had everything I adore, an addictive storyline, perfect pacing, and those spicy scenes that make you forget your own name. And don’t even get me started on Jett. I fell for him so hard I kept wondering why the universe hasn’t made him a real person yet. Rude, honestly.
The dual POVs fed my obsession without ever slipping into repetition or info overload. It was the perfect escape—immersive, fun, and never dragging its feet.
Now I’m counting down the minutes until I can jump into the next book in the series!
This Love is Permanent shattered my expectations. The author's debut novel has some of the best character work I've seen in a long time. It's evident that she Is well read and enjoys literature. It's one of the most compelling romance novels I've ever read, even better than some best sellers. I didn't know what to expect from Dani Harwich and I got a five star hit that I devoured in a day!
Would you like a cozy romance beach read? Well have I got a book for you!
As a corporate millennial, the burnout Chloe feels at the beginning is so relatable. I'd love to escape to a beach to meet a tattooed MMC but especially one with the depth Dani puts into her characters. A fun read and great debut!
Wonderful debut from the author! I can wait for the next book! Love the group of characters whose love stories take shape on the pages. Delightful, real banter on the page made me feel like I was hearing my friends. Worth the read—you’ll gobble it up.
