Guided by Love

Enjoy this steamy, small town 20th century historical mystery romance set in 1969 Swan Harbor.




Two strangers.

One mission.

Zero chance of staying away.


Lucy Strickland didn’t come to Swan Harbor looking for love. She came searching for justice—and answers. Disguised as a hat-check girl in a smoky 1969 nightclub, Lucy plans to get in, get what she needs, and get out. But staying under the radar proves difficult when a certain blue-eyed singer keeps stealing her attention—and possibly her heart. With secrets closing in and danger at her heels, Lucy must decide how much she’s willing to risk... for the truth, and for the man who might be more than just a distraction.

Roman Dankin is a smooth-talking nightclub singer with a hidden agenda and a dangerous past. He came to Swan Harbor under orders—but the mission grows more complicated as soon as he sees the beautiful, but guarded brunette behind the hat-check desk. There’s something about Lucy that pulls at him like a song he can’t forget. But in a world of shadows and lies, one misstep could cost them everything. Can Roman protect the woman he’s falling for without revealing the secrets that might destroy them both? 

In 1969 Swan Harbor, secrets simmer beneath the surface, and not everything is as it seems. Lucy Strickland and Roman Dankin are two strangers with hidden pasts and conflicting missions. She’s hunting for the truth; he’s trying to bury it. When their paths collide under the nightclub lights, sparks fly and loyalties blur. With danger closing in, Lucy and Roman must decide if love is a luxury they can afford—or the only thing worth fighting for. 

They were never meant to fall in love—but Swan Harbor had other ideas.
