Reclaimed: Book Three in the Don't Count Me Out Series. A Bellhaven Harbor Novel.: 3

RECLAIMED Book Three of the Don't Count Me Out SeriesFor fifteen years, Rosalind "Ros" Devereaux made things nobody was allowed to critique. Twice divorced - once by a husband who wanted a wife who matched the furniture, once by a gallery owner who kept her work "promising" instead of finished so he could keep controlling it - she built Salvage, a boathouse gallery-slash-junk-shop, specifically so no one's opinion but her own would ever again decide what counted as done.Then Theo Marchetti drove up from Boston and told her he couldn't stop thinking about her driftwood.As Ros's career finally breaks wide open - a sold-out show, a rival gallery circling with a poaching offer dressed up as flattery, a permanent space of her own taking shape on Wharf Street - an even harder reckoning arrives at her door: Jo, the daughter she hasn't spoken to in six years, who grew up watching her mother assess everything, including her, and never once simply believe.Ros doesn't need Theo to complete her, and she says so, plainly, more than once. What she needs is a man who asks for more of her instead of less, a daughter willing to help her finish what she started twenty-six years ago, and the hard-won nerve to believe that this time, being truly seen isn't a trap.No ring here either - just two names on a deed, a sculpture that never fully closes its hands, and a whole family finally, stubbornly, choosing to keep reaching.Reclaimed.
