It’s time for another trip to Hope Harbor! Welcome to Book 11 in my long-running, bestselling series set in a charming town on the Oregon coast, where hearts heal…and love blooms. If you’re a first-time visitor, no worries. All the main characters in every book are new, and the storyline begins and ends in each book. There are no hanging plot threads from book to book in any of my novels.
In SUNRISE REEF, you’ll meet Bren Ryan, an independent woman who marches to the beat of her own drummer and has found her place in the welcoming community of Hope Harbor. She does not need a man in her life. And she most especially doesn’t need stuffy CPA Noah Ward, who’s in town to convince his widowed father to move back to the Midwest. So what’s with the sparks that begin to fly whenever they’re together…apparently on both sides? You’ll have to read the story to find out where this seemingly odd pairing leads!
S is for sum. As a CPA, Noah prefers to live a logical life in which everything adds up. His growing feelings for Bren don’t, however. So what’s he supposed to do about that?
U is for unusual. One way to describe Noah’s meet-cute with Bren. Let’s just say it’s memorable—and not in a good way. But it will make you chuckle!
N is for no way. Noah’s life and executive career track are in St. Louis. No way is he going to let himself fall for a woman on the far side of the country whose taste in hairstyles and fashion is eclectic—to say the least—and who makes her living as a barista.
R is for relax. That’s the vibe in Hope Harbor. But Noah can’t quite get with the program. This man desperately needs someone to help him regain perspective and teach him how to chill out…maybe someone like Bren?
I is for imperial jasper. The stone in the earrings Bren’s best friend gives her for her 30th birthday, which represent companionship, among other things. But Bren is just fine on her own, thank you very much. (Even if deep inside she harbors dreams of a happily ever after.)
S is for sizzle. Not something either Bren or Noah wanted or expected, but there’s no denying the electricity between them.
E is for Emma. A down-on-her-luck eighteen-year-old who shows up in Hope Harbor and serendipitously crosses paths with Bren. That turns out to be her lucky day—and the beginning of a subplot that will touch your heart.
R is for running. One of the items on Bren’s 30th birthday resolution list. But her first foray into the world of jogging is a disaster…and unfortunately Noah’s there to witness it.
E is for eclairs. These play a key role in Emma’s sweet new beginning in Hope Harbor.
E is for entertain. You can count on the witty banter and friendly ribbing between the two rival clerics in Hope Harbor to put a smile on your face.
F is for Floyd. The male half of the seagull couple that tends to show up whenever romance is in the air. Be sure to look for Floyd and Gladys on the cover too!
A Hope Harbor Novel
After years of searching, Bren Ryan has found her place in Hope Harbor. Working as a barista suits her to a T, as does the laid-back vibe of her adopted town. Nothing is lacking in her life--except romance. But that's okay. Men are a complication she doesn't need.
Buttoned-up CPA Noah Ward isn't looking for love, either, when he arrives in town on a mission to convince his father to move closer to him. And he certainly doesn't intend to fall for the quirky, free-spirited woman who's taken up residence in his father's guest cottage. But when he finds himself sucked into her quest to help a struggling teen, might the two of them discover there's more to each other than meets the eye?
Bestselling author Irene Hannon invites you back to the charming town of Hope Harbor--where hearts heal . . . and love blooms.
