Guarded hearts and unexpected grace...
When her picture-perfect life shatters, Adelaide Ashbourne finds herself on San Juan Island—seeking solace and desperately trying to rebuild. Divorced, jobless, and running from her past, she's hoping for quiet healing. Instead, she gets Rick Hayle: a war-hardened bodyguard with demons of his own and zero interest in her determination to right every wrong.
Rick knows protection. What he doesn't know is how to protect himself from Addy's relentless compassion—or how she's slowly dismantling the walls around his shattered heart. When her mother's shocking financial betrayal threatens everything, Addy's fierce loyalty draws Rick into a battle far more complicated than he's ever known.
With secrets that could destroy them both, can two wounded souls find the courage to trust again? Or will their fragile connection crumble under the weight of their deepest fears?
Spotted at Lighthouse Bay, the fourth book in the Spotted Cottage series, is an uplifting tale of healing, hope, and unexpected love—where the greatest battle is learning to believe in yourself again. Get your copy now!
