Safe Harbor — Sarah Bates

The last thing that Elizabeth Walden ever expected to happen when she moved to the small island town of Stevens Island was to find a very dear friend from her tumultuous childhood. She certainly hadn't ever expected that when she met Chase Stafford again that he would turn out to be the love of her life. But as she and Chase reconnect there's a pull between them that she just can't deny, and they find themselves falling for each other fast. And after all of the obstacles they've both already had to go through in their young lives to get where they are, it's a wonderfully amazing thing to simply be able to enjoy their newfound love. But when Chase receives some life-altering news concerning his past, can they work through the maelstrom of nearly a decade's worth of repressed grief and anger? Or will everything that he has kept locked away inside have the power to tear apart the life he's made for himself and the future they have planned together?
