The Story Cottage

A stressed-out writer.
A rugged island local.
One Florida Keys escape neither of them planned.

With writer’s block threatening her career and a deadline closing in, romance author Maggie McCoy escapes to a quiet cottage on No Name Key, hoping the sun, sea, and solitude will help her finish her next book. What she doesn’t expect is Jake Hatfield, the confident, irresistible man who lives just upstairs and has a way of distracting her at every turn.

Jake has built his life around hard work and routine, not romance. Love has never fit neatly into his world, and he has no intention of letting a temporary guest change that. But Maggie’s laughter, sharp wit, and undeniable spark make it harder than he ever imagined to keep his distance.

As days blur into sunset rides, moonlit nights, and a growing attraction neither can ignore, Maggie and Jake must decide if what’s unfolding between them is just a vacation fling or something worth rewriting their plans for.

Set in the sun-drenched Florida Keys, The Story Cottage is a heartwarming contemporary beach romance filled with chemistry, second chances, and the kind of love that sneaks up when you least expect it.
