It’s Valentine’s Day in Badger’s Drift and love is in the air. Or is that another mystery? Abby Jennings, a burgeoning romance novelist faces a daunting writer’s block. Her stories of passion and love seem as distant as the stars. Abby grapples with the fear that her tales of love might forever remain confined to the pages of fiction. In the serene coastal town of Badger’s Drift, marine biologist Christopher “Kit” Johnson dedicates his life to the mysteries of the deep, far from the complexities of the heart. Still reeling from the loss of his beloved Clara, Kit has turned his back on the idea of love, finding solace in the rhythmic waves and marine life that demand nothing of his scarred heart. As fate draws Abby to the quaint Lighthouse Bed & Breakfast for writing inspiration, her path crosses with the handsome Kit. Amid the town’s idyllic charm and unique Valentine’s Day traditions, a hesitant romance begins to blossom. Yet, their growing connection is threatened not just by their fears, but also by a troubling mystery unraveling within the town, challenging their beliefs in love, trust, and the truths hidden beneath the surface. Will Abby and Kit find the courage to face their past, unravel the town’s secrets, and write a new chapter in their lives, or will the waves of past hurt force them apart?

As a USA Today bestselling romance author, Delta James aims to captivate readers with stories about complex heroines and the dominant alpha males who adore them. For Delta, romance is more than just a love story; it’s a journey with challenges and thrills along the way. After creating a second chapter for herself that was dramatically different than the first, Delta now resides in Florida where she relaxes on warm summer evenings with her loveable pack of basset hounds as they watch the birds, squirrels, and lizards. When not crafting fast-paced tales, she enjoys horseback riding, hiking, and white-water rafting. Her readers mean the world to her, and Delta tries to interact personally with as many messages as she can. If you’d like to chat or discuss books, you can find Delta on Instagram, Facebook, and in her private reader group https://www.facebook.com/groups/34898....
