Beach Cottage Haven is the place you go to find yourself or perhaps that special someone.
From the author of A Summer in Paradise, A Summer Before and A Summer of Hope - the Croc Brothers Romance Series.
Pepper Cassidy can wield a drop saw like most women use a nail file. But when she returns to Blueshell Beach, the last thing she needs is a sexy, unfriendly neighbour to distract her from the family cottage renovations.
Keegan Dallas left the city for a peaceful coastal life-surfing, yoga and a chance to regain custody of his son, Joe. His PTSD is improving, but he's not quite there yet.
She doesn't need or want a quiet, stubborn man who can't even use a hammer, let alone a seemingly damaged guy.
He would rather be alone but can't help falling for the beautiful, clumsy, sunshine-optimistic neighbour.
After a tragic accident renders Joe mute, can they come together to bring back his voice? That's if they don't nail each other to a renovated wall first.
When it seems impossible for love to save them, the past might hold the keys to a happy future after all, but not before a threat to those they love most.
If grief renders you mute can love find the words to save you?
'A wonderfully rich read, great depth of characterisation, movement,
and well-crafted threading of story within story.' - Sally Ryhanen - writer
'I absolutely loved this book! Thank you for choosing me to read it. The book was well-written with well-rounded and wonderful characters. I was pulled into the story from the beginning and kept hooked throughout. I really didn't want to put it down once I started reading. The backstories of each of the main characters was well-done and gave you clues to the people they became. I really enjoyed how Pepper read her father's diaries and began to understand the man behind her father.' - Darla J Taylor

Darla @moonpanther Recommended and rated this book 5 stars
Pepper Cassidy inherits the family beach house and decides to renovate it, but must face the memories as she deals with the loss of her mother. Keegan Dallas left the city for the quiet, coastal town as he developed PTSD after a particularly bad case as a paramedic. His neighbor's renovations are causing a few issues for him, but he can't stay away.
I was able to read an ARC of this book and this is my honest, unbiased review. The book's well-written with wonderful characters and it drew me in from the beginning keeping me hooked throughout. While the book is a romance, it also brings psychological issues to focus and does it very well. I seriously loved this book and didn't want to put it down. I highly recommend it.
Reasons I enjoyed this book:
Easy-to-read. Great world-building. Happily Ever After. Page-turner. Romantic. Wonderful characters.

I love the story - Keegan and Pepper are interesting characters, and you do the sexual tension well.
