Guided by Heart

Enjoy this steamy, small town 20th century historical mystery romance set in 1964 Swan Harbor. 



Two strangers.

One storm of secrets.

A town where love and danger walk the same shore.



Angelina Moretti knows how to run a marina and manage a crew of stubborn men. But with her family business under threat, she’s searching for the truth. The deeper she digs, the more unsettling the clues, and keeping her heart safe is no longer easy. Jimmie Tanner —the mysterious hire is too smooth, too curious … and far too tempting. Her instincts say he’s hiding something—but when the danger becomes deadly, Angie may have to trust him … or risk losing more than just her heart. 

A cryptic call sends Jimmie Tanner to Swan Harbor, not for love—but for answers. Then he meets Angie Moretti, all fire, loyalty and sharp edges. Suddenly, the mission doesn’t seem so clear. The more time he spends in her world, the harder it is to keep his distance—and the closer she comes to exposing him. As danger grows and trust frays, he must decide. Does he stay true to his mission or protect the woman who’s captured his heart?

In a town that knows all, the truth has a way of coming out—even if you aren’t ready. But with sabotage threatening everything Angie holds dear and Jimmie’s past closing in, love and loyalty are put to the test. As they work together, to expose the enemy, they’ll have to decide if the love growing between them is strong enough to weather the storm. Because in Swan Harbor, the heart doesn’t just guide you home—it dares you to stay.

In Swan Harbor, even the truth comes wrapped in mist—and hearts are always guided by something deeper.
