The Cottage on Rose Lane

Jenna Fossey has just come into an unexpected inheritance, and with it the discovery that she has relatives she never knew existed. She leaves Boston for Magnolia Harbor, a small coastal town in South Carolina, hoping to quietly learn who her people are before she decides whether to introduce herself.

Jude St. Pierre teaches sailing at the local marina and keeps mostly to himself. He is drawn to Jenna almost immediately, and troubled by it once he understands what brought her to town. The Rose Cottage where she is staying, the harbor, and the town's long memory all keep pulling her toward the family story she came to find.

The first book in Hope Ramsay's Moonlight Bay series, this is a warm small-town romance about inheritance, belonging, and the slow work of telling the truth.
