The Bookstore Next Door

Book 4 in the Birch Harbor Series

After many quiet years in a cottage outside Willow Creek, Maggie Reynolds returns to town to open a tiny bookstore she hopes will help her belong again. What she does not expect is the loud, good-hearted contractor next door whose saws, laughter, and steady kindness start to unsettle the careful walls she has built. As Maggie slowly learns to step back into the world, small moments with Tyson become turning points… and courage begins to look a lot like choosing to stay. In the warmth of a harbor town where lanterns light the streets at dusk, she discovers that some stories are meant to be lived, not just read.
