Romance Contemporary

Katrina Bailey came home for her sister's wedding, but she plans on heading back to Columbia as soon as she can. No one in her life seems to understand her determination to travel back. She fell in love with a girl in an orphanage and she's desperately trying to adopt her. Her family hasn't reconciled this new side of her. They still see her as boy crazy and flighty.

While home, Katrina runs into a little boy throwing a tantrum in the grocery store. From her personal and professional background, she has the knowledge to step in and help. Bowie, his half brother, immediately offers her a temporary job, for lot of money. Katrina doesn't really want the job, but the money will be handy for the adoption process.

Combined with a terrible childhood and autism, Milo doesn't speak. But he does trust Katrina. With the guidance from professionals and her big heart, Katrina helps Milo understand that he's safe with his new family. Of course the days are hard and he has melt downs. While Katrina enjoys the time she spends with Milo, she's unsure about Bowie. Spending time with Bowie could be a disaster waiting to happen. She's never chosen the right men so she no longer trusts herself when it comes to dating. She also can't stop thinking about him and his kisses.

The close knit town of Haven Point allows readers and catch glimpses of characters from past books in the Haven Point series from RaeAnne Thayne and check in on their lives. Katrina has a huge heart and it shines through with her interactions with Milo. Understanding Bowie's past makes your heart soften for him and his dealings with Milo. It's admirable that he's taken in his half sibling and raising him. Milo is the heart of the story. You just want to play cars with him all day long. Understanding Katrina's past allows the reader to empathize with her current relationships with her family and friends and how they have a hard time seeing her now. The relationships between the three of them and the dual perspectives make SERENITY HARBOR hard to put down.

SUMMARY

In the town of Haven Point, love can be just a wish—and one magical kiss—away…

Computer-tech millionaire Bowie Callahan is about the last person that schoolteacher Katrina Bailey wants to work for. As far as she can see, he's arrogant, entitled and not up to the task of caring for his young half brother, Milo. But Kat is, especially if it brings her closer to her goal of adopting an orphaned little girl. And as her kindness and patience work wonders with Milo, she realizes there's more to sexy, wary Bo than she'd ever realized.

Bo never imagined he'd be tasked with caring for a sibling he didn't know existed. Then again, he never pictured himself impulsively kissing vibrant, compassionate Katrina in the moonlight. Now he's ready to make her dream of family come true…and hoping there's room in it for him, too…
