Michael Malone has everything a man could want: money, success, looks, even an apartment in New York City. He had never planned on going back to Gray Harbor, but his mother needed him. And there was no way he would ever stay in Maine. At least that’s how he felt before Beth Adams. The talented chef is nothing like what he thought he needed, but now she’s all he can think about.
Then trouble at work pulls him back to the city and back into the life he worked so hard to build. And while it no longer seems to be everything Michael wants anymore, he can’t simply leave everything he knows behind. Or can he?
~Try an Excerpt!~
The morning sky was glowing pink and the air smelled of
salt. The low humming of Michael Malone’s rental car seemed a little out of
place as he pulled up the dirt road to a ramshackle house that looked like it
was badly in need of repair. The Penobscot area was now known as one of Maine’s
most picturesque escapes. He stepped out of the shiny black Mustang coupe in a
two-piece suit and necktie. They weren’t Armani, but you could tell they were
expensive despite the understated look. He halted in front of the faded red
door of the sea-worn Cape Cod home.
“What happened to this place?” he mumbled as he stared at
the worn shingles that were left clinging to the home. Definitely not
picturesque, that’s for sure, he thought. The cedar shingles were either
missing or faded and worn beyond the usual salt grey that New England homes had
become known for. It had been thirteen years since he’d been back home. It felt
like forever and just yesterday all at once.
He was home. His skin prickled with goose bumps and a sense
of uneasiness spread through him. Instinct screamed at him to head back to the
car and get as far away from Gray Harbor as soon as possible. But he had to be
there for her, for all of them.
He had seen his mother and siblings periodically since his
impassioned vow almost thirteen years ago never to return, but he had kept true
to his words until now.

ReplyDelete"... and loves hiking and biking with her family." My husband bikes 3-4 hours a day now that he is retired (and my adult kids have been able to keep up with him since their pre-teen years). I'm lucky if I can bike around the block without my knees hurting (osteoarthritis)! Guess I'll stick to the hiking. I'm glad you're able to do both with your family!
