The Agerstone Series: Book 1

Advance Reader Copy

Blurb

She thought she’d finally found a place to belong… until her past found her first.

Alexis Cromwell has no one.

Not even her own mother.

After everything she’s been through, she escapes to Agerstone—a quiet seaside town where she can finally disappear.

But Agerstone isn’t just a place to hide.

It’s a place where she finds something she never expected:

a family she didn’t know she needed…

and a man determined to protect her…

even when she won’t let him.

The closer Alexis gets to the life she never thought she deserved, the harder her past fights to take it away.

Because some secrets were never meant to stay buried.

And if the truth comes out, it won’t just destroy her—

it will destroy everything she’s finally found.

Tropes:

Slow burn
Small town
Found family
Protective MMC

Perfect for readers who love slow burn, emotional romance with strong character development and found family.
