Rose and Jacob — Lexi Buchanan

Life is pristine at Rose Cottage in Cape Elizabeth when Mack (McKenzie) Harper and her six-year old nephew move in for the summer. While storing boxes, Mack discovers a diary, which pulls her into a world of heartache, betrayal, and love that transcends the pain of loss. The first page of the diary reads, “This is the diary of a Rose, dated March 4th, 1947.” Settling down to read this diary, she discovers a love story between Rose Degan and a man named Jacob Evans. Through research, Rose discovers that Jacob is still alive and finds herself driven to not only discover Rose's tragic ending, but to contact Jacob and tell him the truth of Rose's fate. * * * Dismounting his Harley, Dean Evans was more curious than ever about the woman who'd been trying to contact his grandfather especially as her questions pertained to a diary she'd discovered. Dean had no recollection of his grandfather ever mentioning Cape Elizabeth, and his grandfather had told him many a story from when he'd been a younger man. Dean's curiosity had been piqued from the moment he'd been told about the woman and the diary, which was why he was now in town, with plans of uncovering the truth about a diary that was sixty-eight years old. Together Mack and Dean try to unravel the mystery surrounding what happened to Rose back in 1947. All these characters come together in a story of love, loss and friendship.
