Falling for the Small Town Grump

An Opposites Attract Sweet Romance

Getting drenched by a rogue wave and humiliated in front of one maddeningly handsome, grumpy harbor master, was my welcome to Friday Harbor!

Jack Ryder thinks I’m a clueless tourist.

I think he’s stubborn, broody, and far too distracting.

He calls me trouble.

I call him Mr. Thundercloud.

I only came to fix my aunt’s crumbling inn, sell it, and move on.

But every storm, blackout, and run-in keeps pulling us closer.

Then my Aunt’s letters surface, turning the inn from a burden into a heartbeat.

Jack finally begins letting down his guard, sharing truths that draw me into this place—and him—with the force of a
magnetic pull.

A developer dangles an easy escape, but walking away would mean losing the inn, the town, and the man I never planned to fall for.

Between salt air and second chances, I may have found a love as unpredictable as the tide—and a harbor master already halfway to anchoring my heart.

Welcome to the San Juan Islands, where love arrives with the tide.

Each book in this sweet romance series is set on a different island off the coast of Washington State, following a new couple as they discover connection, belonging, and the quiet magic of island life.

With cozy settings, heartfelt moments, and happily-ever-afters shaped by sea air and small-town charm, these interconnected standalones are perfect for readers who believe the right place—and the right person—can change everything.
