Fortunate Harbor

Summary

North Carolina’s Outer Banks is the breathtaking backdrop for second chances, unexpected romance, and a thrilling quest in this heart-racing tale by the internationally bestselling author of the Miramar Bay novels.

It’s a promise of better things to come …

With its colorful history and miles of sand, tide, and windswept oaks, North Carolina’s Outer Banks is a paradise for locals and tourists alike. Now former native Curtis Gage is returning after twelve years. Professionally, his boss, mentor, and beloved friend, Amiya, has made him director of operations for a new 5-star, ocean-front resort. The hope is that he can ease brewing tensions with longtime residents unhappy about the project. Personally, it’s a chance for the grieving widower to start a new life—and come to terms with an old one …

But he never imagined the risks—or rewards …

This coastal haven is in attorney Rae Alden’s blood, and the resort’s expansion is encroaching on precious Fortunate Harbor. For Rae and the established families she represents, their generations-old heritage is not for sale for all the money in the world. Who’d have guessed that the ordeal would tie Rae to Curtis, a childhood sweetheart—now part of a corporate landgrab, no less. Their reunion is further complicated by the discovery that the property is more valuable than even Rae believed. The proof is in a secret deed and a long-lost map.

Yet, as Curtis and Rae are forced to work together, navigating pirate legends, real life adventures, and a thickening trail of corruption, a bond of friendship evolves, supportive and eye-opening in ways neither could have anticipated. And as they move forward in their separate personal journeys, that alone is a fortune worth fighting for.
