Happy Friday! I always love my visits to Hope Harbor, the fictional seaside town that Irene Hannon has populated with endearing characters through her contemporary romance novels. The latest book in the series, Sandcastle Inn (book 10!), will be released in April. Can’t wait! For a sneak preview, here’s the first line.
Good grief.
Vienna Price never intended to return for more than a passing visit to Oregon and all the bad memories she’d left behind. But when your career tanks, home is where you go to nurse your wounds and chart a new course. Only temporarily, of course–because as much as she loves her quirky mom, anything more than a short stay would drive them both crazy.
A trip to Oregon isn’t in Matt Quinn’s plans, either, until a perfectly timed appeal for help arrives from his sister. What better place to decompress after a shattering loss than a quiet, seaside town named Hope Harbor? But R&R isn’t on the agenda when he arrives to find his sister’s new enterprise on life support.
Vienna, however, may have just the skills needed to resuscitate the foundering B&B–if Matt can convince her to hang around long enough to mend an inn . . . and his heart.

Haha, great first line! Sounds like Charlie Brown 🙂 I am looking forward to reading this one when it comes out!
