Welcome to Nautical Cove: Where the coffee cups are full, the gossip travels fast, and the romance swells like a rising tide. Lily Pinehurst, innkeeper and hostess extraordinaire, is the proud new owner of the Gull’s Nest Inn in Nautical Cove, and she couldn’t be happier. Inside, the inn hums with warm coziness and happy guests. Outside, the wraparound porch glows with carved pumpkins, fall lanterns, and a sneaky raccoon named Rascal. What Lily doesn’t have? Peace and quiet—thanks to a mysterious moan echoing through the historical inn. And the town’s rumor mill is revving up just in time for Nautical Cove’s Haunt the Harbor Festival. Enter Finn O’Connell, the infuriatingly charming surf‑shop owner across the street who has a rescue complex, a reckless grin, and a talent for getting under Lily’s skin. His family once owned the Gull’s Nest Inn for over sixty years, and Finn’s grandfather isn’t exactly thrilled Lily now holds the keys. Between sexy banter, nosy locals with bullhorns, and town gossip spreading faster than pumpkin‑spice lattes, Lily and Finn are about to discover that the real trouble isn’t in the walls of the Gull’s Nest Inn—it’s in the way their hearts keep tripping over each other in Nautical Cove. This new cozy romance series serves up all the spice and laughter. If you like small-town life, charming storefronts, monthly festivals, nosy neighbors, and HEAs...then this series is for you!
