A weathered cliff house, a mysterious shipwreck, and a love that refuses to fade When artist Nora Delaney retreats to a Victorian cliff house on the rocky Maine coast, she expects solitude, not whispers of a 150-year-old enigma. But The Captain’s Watch has its own secrets, drawing her into a past marred by betrayal and ill-fated love. Maritime historian Maddox Hale has spent years chasing the truth behind a notorious 1871 shipwreck. When he discovers Nora now owns the house at the heart of his obsession, he shows up with storm-gray eyes, questions she can’t answer, and a presence she can’t ignore. Together, they’re drawn deeper into a mystery neither imagined. But the closer they get to the truth, the more they risk uncovering secrets meant to stay buried at sea. Perfect for fans of: small town romance, slow burn romance, forced proximity, opposites attract, historical mysteries, mysterious Victorian houses, and charming coastal harbor settings
