Descripción editorial
Buying a haunted house was never in Ashley Scott's plans, but when an intriguing opportunity drops into her lap after a major setback, she finds herself trekking cross-country to Hope Harbor on the Oregon coast to launch a new life.
Wounded warrior Jonathan Gray isn't sure what to make of the attractive woman on his reclusive older neighbor's isolated property, but her presence is none of his business--until she enlists his help with an ambitious project. When Jonathan finds his interest in the new arrival becoming more personal than professional, however, his defenses go up. There's no room in his life--or his heart--for romance.
Yet, as these three hurting people join forces to restore life, laughter, and love to a historic estate that has known too much sadness, they may also find healing, hope, and happiness for themselves.
Bestselling author Irene Hannon invites you back to Hope Harbor, where hearts heal and love blooms.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Hannon (Sea Glass Cottage) returns to Oregon in this upbeat installment to the Hope Harbor series involving a haunted house and a redemptive romance. Reeling from a recent breakup and the loss of her job as an events planner, Ashley Scott needs a new project, so she takes a cross-country trip from Tennessee to scout out a 1910 Queen Anne Victorian whose eccentric owner, Rose Fitzgerald Warner, has decided to use it as an event space to earn extra money. Despite rumors of ghost sightings, Ashley joins forces with Rose to become the house's co-owner, and the two move forward with a renovation plan. Ashley also meets Jon Gray, a local landscaper and wounded veteran. Jon's lonely, fears women can't get past his severely scarred appearance, and has lost faith in God. Ashley hires him to work on the property's grounds, and as they restore the property, an attraction builds. Meanwhile, Jon struggles to regain his faith, and the two get closer to uncovering the house's secrets. Hannon's nuanced character development and snappy pacing make this tale of second chances a pure delight. Readers will eagerly turn pages until the satisfying close.
