Harbor House A Novel by Madison Richards Mackenzie Reynolds thought moving to a quiet lakeshore town would be the fresh start she desperately needed. After walking away from her fast-paced life in New York City, she buys an old fixer-upper perched along the shoreline of Lake Michigan. The small yellow cottage, known as Harbor House, is worn, weathered, and full of history. But surrounded by quiet pine forests, endless water, and the memories of summers spent with her grandfather, it feels like the perfect place to rebuild her life. Then the past begins to surface. A chance encounter in a local diner triggers a forgotten memory, an argument between her beloved grandfather and a man in town just weeks before he died. A death everyone believed was natural. But what if it wasn’t? As Mackenzie begins renovating Harbor House, she discovers clues hidden deep within the walls of the old cottage, secrets that suggest her grandfather may have been keeping something from her all along. With the help of Dalton Rowan, a local contractor with a steady presence and a quiet charm she didn’t expect to find, Mackenzie is drawn deeper into a mystery that reaches far beyond the small town she once called home. Someone in Manistee knows the truth about what happened all those years ago. And someone is determined to keep it buried. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Lake Michigan, Harbor House is a gripping story of love, loss, and the secrets that refuse to stay hidden. Because sometimes the place meant to save you… is the same place that holds the truth.
