Publisher Description
Home is where the heart is…
In Lily Everett's Home at Last, Marcus Beckett left Sanctuary Island after his mother’s funeral, and he hasn’t been back since. Until now. Needing a change from the high-risk, high-stakes life of a bodyguard, Marcus makes a solitary life for himself running the neighborhood bar in his hometown. His only mistake? Seducing and then dumping the town’s sweetheart, Quinn Harper. Marcus knows he did the right thing—a good girl like Quinn has no business with a broken man like him. But now no one will come to his bar, and he’s watching his last chance at a peaceful life go up in smoke. So when Quinn proposes a fake four-week courtship, he can’t refuse…even though he knows it’s a bad idea.
It’s a romantic charade that will buy Quinn time to distract her mother and father from their own marital problems—and will help Marcus welcome back some paying customers besides. But what begins as an engagement of convenience slowly transforms into a deeper connection, one that heals both of their hearts. . .and ignites the simmering passion between them. Could it be that pretending to be together is just what Quinn and Marcus needed to give their real love a second chance?
"Heartwarming, emotional, extremely romantic...Enjoy your trip to Sanctuary Island! I guarantee you won't want to leave."—Bella Andre, New York Times bestselling author
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Everett's sixth Sanctuary Island book (after Close to Home) enchants readers with strong, crisp storytelling as a spunky, sweet heroine and an unsettled hero see past each other's defenses. Marcus Beckett returns to his home town for a fresh start, opening a bar and beginning a romance with the town's beloved do-gooder, Quinn Harper. When he ungraciously dumps Quinn believing it's the right decision for her sake the townsfolk shun his bar. Fortunately, the unflappable Quinn has a plan: she asks Marcus to temporarily pretend to still be her boyfriend. Impulsive decisions, including a public marriage proposal, encourage heartfelt discussions and the slow, sweet revelation of their vulnerabilities. But just when all is looking up for the couple, Quinn pushes too hard for Marcus to come to terms with his demons. Series fans will swoon as Quinn and Marcus get to know and love each other's true selves. New readers will struggle a bit to catch up, but once the backstory is filled in, they'll settle in to enjoy a multilayered story of family and love, and an unforgettable cast of characters.
