    FOREVER, TOGETHER is book #10 in the #1 bestselling clean romance series THE INN AT SUNSET HARBOR, which begins with FOR NOW AND FOREVER (BOOK #1)—a free download!
    
    35 year old Emily Mitchell fled her job, apartment and ex-boyfriend in New York City for her father's historic, abandoned home on the coast of Maine, needing a change in her life and determined to make it work as a B&B. She had never expected, though, that her relationship with its caretaker, Daniel, would turn her life on its head.
    
    When a devastating fire forces Emily to close the inn during peak season, their financial security hangs in the balance. As they struggle to rebuild, Daniel receives a career-changing furniture commission that would take him across the country for months.
    
    With Emily needing him now more than ever and Daniel's dream opportunity on the line, they must find a way to honor both their family's needs and their individual aspirations.
    
    Can they forge a path that allows them both to thrive?
    
    Or will their separate dreams pull their carefully built life apart?

    Future books in the series are also available!
    
    “A very well written novel, describing the struggle of a woman (Emily) to find her true identity. The author did an amazing job with the creation of the characters and her description of the environment. The romance is there, but not overdosed. Kudos to the author for this amazing start of a series that promises to be very entertaining.”

     ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
    
    “Sophie Love's ability to impart magic to her readers is exquisitely wrought in powerfully evocative phrases and descriptions….This is the perfect romance or beach read, with a difference: its enthusiasm and beautiful descriptions offer an unexpected attention to the complexity of not just evolving love, but evolving psyches. It's a delightful recommendation for romance readers looking for a touch more complexity from their romance reads.”

    Easy. A late broomer! 
     
     
     
    When Ruby returns to the small coastal town she'd left twenty years ago, she's overwhelmed with melancholy. After all, it's where her fiancé dumped her at the altar. That's why all Ruby wants to do while in town is settle up and leave. But things get dangerous when Ruby's ex- fiancé is found dead in his office. Ruby is the prime suspect and must solve the case in order to clear her name. 
     
     
     
    Fortunately, she's not alone. Her feline familiar Rumpus is there to back Ruby up to the hilt. If only he could avoid making snarky comments and one liners while they do it! 
     
     
     
    Handsome Police Chief John Miller is there to lend his capable hands . . . though like everyone else in Fiddler's Cove, he might be more than he seems. One thing's for sure. If Ruby doesn't find the killer soon, she might just be their next victim! 
     
     
     
    Join Ruby Rivers as she unravels the mysteries of growing older, finding love, and catching the bad guys. 
     
     
     
    There's no need to be ashamed as long as she remembers one thing . . . Hex over forty is perfectly natural.
