Yours to Cherish (Book 3, Lantern Bay‪)‬

Archaeologist Madeleine MacGillivray came to Akaroa to fulfill a promise. Six months, then she's gone. What she didn't count on was Dr. Gabriel Connelly—or falling for the one man she can never have.

Madeleine came to New Zealand for one reason: to fulfill a deathbed promise that seemed simple at the time. Six months in Akaroa, then she can return to her life. What she didn't expect was Gabe—charming, persistent, and dangerously easy to fall for.

Dr. Gabriel Connelly has always been drawn to mysterious women, but Madeleine is different. Despite the undeniable chemistry between them, she keeps him at arm's length, insisting they can only be friends. Something is driving her to keep her distance, and Gabe is determined to find out what.

As the months pass and their connection deepens, Madeleine faces an impossible choice: honor the promise that brought her here, or risk everything for a love she never saw coming. But some secrets have the power to destroy even the strongest bonds—and when the truth finally surfaces, it may be too late for both of them.

A story about promises that bind us, love that frees us, and the courage to choose your own path.
