a Gull Harbor Summer: Sweet Small Town Coastal Romance — Clean Second Chance Romance, & Smalltown Seaside Series of Maine Summer (The Inn at Book 2)

Thora Quintrell writes down what can be proved and leaves out what she only knows. In eight years she has never given anybody a reason to know where she stopped. She works marine claims out of Portland and has not taken more than four days off at a time in all that time. Then the baker calls: her father, the Gull Harbor harbormaster, has sat down on the wharf twice in one week - and the co-op audits the harbor this summer. So she takes three weeks, a room at the inn and a drop-leaf table, and asks to see the berths. Her father has kept every mooring for forty years in pencil, in a composition book nobody else on earth can read. He will not let her photograph it. He would rather she stayed at the inn than heard him on the stairs. And there is a spray bottle in his glovebox that neither of them mentions. Caspian Nyland is the other thing she does not mention. He fixes engines at Rand's yard, he still has the one slip that has never been for rent, and he is the man who asked her a question in a truck on the day she left at nineteen. The count is a job with a beginning and a deliverable. The seven things that turn out to be wrong with it are not the kind you can put in a report. A clean, closed-door second chance coastal romance about a harbormaster's daughter, a father too proud to ask, and a Maine summer that was only supposed to last three weeks. Family, community and a hard-won happy ending. Book 2 of The Inn at Gull Harbor. Each book follows a new couple and can be read on its own.
