Product Description:

Book 1 of The Boothbay Harbor Series

Trish Holt is a pianist living in picturesque Boothbay Harbor, Maine. She is stunned and blindsided by the most bitter kind of betrayal: her boyfriend of three years has left her. His new lover is her manager. Her bitterness is compounded by the fact that Trish has made bad choices when it comes to past relationships. Much of it stemming from her own issues as an adopted child from Korea. She holds herself partly responsible for the breakdown in their relationship as she tries to fit into the stereotype of the 'All American' girlfriend.

When she moves out to a new home, she encounters Michael Quentin. Not only is he her neighbor but also a local chef on the island, who romances her and helps her get over the betrayal. As Michael and Trish fall in love, their childhood issues resurface.

 

Can Trish stop herself from loving Michael whose own family's dark past is holding him back?

 

Can she ignore his love for tradition and roots? 

 

All she knows is she will not chase him. She'll take what he'll give her and then walk away.


Questions about loving someone with no roots, the need for a family, mistakes in choosing lovers and new beginnings are explored as Trish learns that even broken people can be mended. 

 

This contemporary multicultural romance keeps you hoping.
