He’s the last cowboy she wants to ask for help. He’s the only one offering a chance…
Never in her wildest dreams did equine specialist Maclyn Kane imagine she’d beg her ex for help five years after he tanked her shot at her dream job. But once again, she’s out of work with two horses and a dog to feed, and the independent cowgirl can’t pass up any offers—even humiliating and grudging ones.
Rancher Trev Matthews is desperate to find someone to help him through calving season, so when Maclyn, the woman who wrecked his truck and lied about it at the end of their rodeo careers, responds to his job posting, he reluctantly hires her—temporarily. As soon as he finds someone with experience, she’s out. Or so he thinks.
Time supposedly heals all wounds. It can also provide clarity and proof that he was too quick to judge. But how can the former rodeo star convince the woman who refuses to depend on anyone except herself to trust him, and that the temporary can become permanent?
She perfected her life. She perfected her marriage. She just forgot to include herself.
After twenty-five years of striving to be the perfect wife in a world where she never quite belonged, Maggie Donovan’s carefully curated life fractures in a hospital hallway — and her escape to the quiet Gulf Coast town of Harmony Bay becomes the first real choice she’s ever made for herself.
For decades, Maggie believed perfection was the price of belonging. A polished marriage. A controlled image. A daughter raised to follow the same rigid path.
But inside a small-town music shop tucked between palm trees and ocean breezes, something long buried begins to stir.
Nora Hale, the shop’s warm and intuitive owner, offers presence without pressure. Andrew Hale — steady, kind, and quietly compelling — offers friendship without conditions.
For the first time in years, Maggie isn’t being measured.
As she reconnects with music—and the parts of herself she abandoned to survive—she’s forced to confront the truth about the life she built with a man who valued optics over intimacy—and decide whether it’s finally time to choose happiness over fear.
Because starting over isn’t just about leaving. It’s about remembering who you were before the world told you who to be.
Titles in the Harmony Bay series include seven books with the same title, as this is a continuing saga. Yes, each has a cliffhanger ending, but it is an ongoing story that will take seven books to complete the journey. I’ll list the books as usual, but with a # for each one.

Napoleon’s war has ended, and English captives detained for years in a French fortress are finally released. Returning to a London he no longer recognizes, and facing astonishing changes in his own family, Lord Jonathan Leighton learns he has inherited a dukedom. But the new nobleman carries the guilt of having wronged his late mentor. Now, he vows to fulfill his promise to find a suitable match for the man’s daughter, Victoria—even if it takes offering a nonexistent dowry to spark her interest in matrimony . . .
Sharp-witted Victoria would just as soon sculpt the Greek god who has come to take charge of her future. In fact, she has her sights set on founding a school for women artists. As Jonathan matches wits with the talented beauty, revelations from his past—and their connection to her father’s demise—threaten to unveil both of their closely held secrets and thrust them into a danger they can only escape together.
After twenty years making a billionaire’s chaotic life run like clockwork, Penelope Bridges is finally doing something for herself – house-sitting her way around the world, one property at a time.
Her first assignment? A stunning smart-home winery in California’s Sonoma Valley, complete with a forty-seven-page household manual (she read it twice) and one very dramatic dog named Bacchus who is always the first to sense danger and the last to calm down.
It should have been straightforward. It really should have.
But when the winery’s celebrated (and deeply unpopular) head winemaker turns up dead in the cellar during a storm, Penny finds herself doing what she’s always done best: noticing things, documenting everything, and refusing to let a problem go unsolved.
The local deputy is skeptical. The sheriff is obstructive. And the list of people who wanted Julian Croft dead is growing faster than Penny can color-code it.
Good thing she’s very good at her job.

Tired of loss, she’s sworn off any new people in her life. She’s happy with her grandmother, her best friend, Ty, and the ghosts she believes haunt the museum.
Ty Wagner’s entire life has been baseball—long after he fell out of love with the game, but his father’s expectations kept him beating his head against the brick wall of a sport that didn’t want him. Now, he’s nearing thirty, and there’s nothing left, just Wild Rose Point and abject failure. Luckily, he still has what’s always kept him going when baseball and his dad’s expectations felt like too much: The Townsend women. Helping out at their Wild Rose Point History Center seems like a good place to be while he figures out what’s next.
Without baseball, life in Wild Rose Point looks different for Ty. He gets to settle down, plant some roots, and see what grows. Meanwhile, with Ty in one place—her space—for more than a few weeks at a time, Lara has to contend with that old high school crush that has a lot more to it than thinking his blue eyes are cute.
Both Lara and Ty have known disappointment and loss all their lives. Believing in something this good is going to take a miracle…
And maybe some help from a few friendly Wild Rose Point ghosts.
