A grieving heart, a struggling bookstore, and a second chance at home.
Dylan Matthews spent fourteen years building the perfect life in Chicago—the corner office, the lakefront condo, the career every ambitious twenty-two-year-old dreams about. Then one phone call ends it all: her Aunt Lou has died, and Harbor Books—the little store that raised her every summer—is hers now.
Dylan tells herself she's only going back to settle the estate and sell the shop. But Harbor Point isn't done with her yet. Between a leaking roof, a devoted staff who refuses to let the store fail, and a town that still remembers her name, walking away gets harder by the day. So does ignoring Wade Rogers—the steady, quietly kind marina owner next door, who sees the woman Dylan used to be long before she remembers her herself.
When a crisis back in Chicago forces Dylan to choose between the career she built and the life quietly rebuilding her, she finally has to answer the question she's been outrunning for years: what does it actually mean to come home?
Coming Home is a small-town, slow-burn romance about grief, second chances, and choosing the life that's real over the one that only looks that way—perfect for readers who love a Hallmark-movie heart with a little more depth.
