Summary
Sometimes you have to look beneath the surface to find the treasure within
After years of searching, Bren Ryan has found her place in Hope Harbor. Working as a barista suits her to a T, as does the laid-back vibe of her adopted town. Nothing is lacking in her life--except romance. But that's okay. Men are a complication she doesn't need.Buttoned-up CPA Noah Ward isn't looking for love, either, when he arrives in town on a mission to convince his father to move closer to him. And he certainly doesn't intend to fall for the quirky, free-spirited woman who's taken up residence in his father's guest cottage.
But when Noah finds himself sucked into Bren's quest to help a struggling teen, might the two of them discover there's more to each other than meets the eye?

Excerpt
pp 11-12
Was something burning?
Bren Ryan stopped reading the instructions on the tube of hair dye in her hand, destined for use
later today, and frowned at her reflection in the bathroom mirror. Sniffed.
A faint acrid odor with a hint of fishiness prickled her nose.
Not quite a burn smell but close. And definitely worth investigating.
Leaving the dye on the vanity, she followed the scent, wincing as another slash of lightning
strobed through the sky outside the window, followed by a boom of bone-jarring thunder.
Man, this was bizarre weather. Squalls on the Oregon coast were supposed to be confined to the
winter months. They never ushered in August—especially storms that went on for hours. Besides,
even in the winter, torrential rain and high winds were far more common than lightning and thunder.
Whatever the cause of this uncharacteristic outburst from Mother Nature, it was certainly a
dramatic beginning to her thirtieth birthday.
And perhaps it was also an omen that her decision to create a birthday resolution to-do list and
shake things up a bit during this new decade of her life was sound.
The smell intensified as she approached the kitchen, and she paused on the threshold. Gave the
room a slow scan.
Everything appeared to be normal.
Could the unpleasant odor be coming from outside?
Bren crossed to the window above the sink, pushed it higher than the scant inch she’d left it
cracked, and leaned over. Inhaled.
The air outside was damp but fresh.
This was weird.
She straightened up and swiveled back toward the room.
Where could the smell be—
Wait.
Was that smoke coiling out of the electrical socket at the end of the counter?
