A Confluence of Hearts (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798349678196)

Where the Neuse and Trent Rivers meet, so do stories-gently, unexpectedly, and with the kind of grace that changes everything.In the heart of New Bern, The Mariner's Inn stands at the edge of October, its porch wrapped in fog and its rooms filled with the scent of sage, sandalwood, and fresh-baked cookies. Maddie Monroe and her brother Ben have poured their hearts into restoring the old Victorian, turning it into a haven for guests and locals alike.Jared Brennan, the master craftsman whose hands have reshaped every beam and banister, finds himself drawn to Maddie in ways neither of them expected. Ben, steady and soil-dusted from the garden, has caught the eye of Sylvia, a shopkeeper whose warmth rivals the golden light spilling down Middle Street. And Dawn Calhoun - the inn's sassy, sharp-witted chef-keeps the kitchen humming with breakfast spreads and afternoon sweets, even as her past with Elias Cross, the rival innkeeper across the street, begins to stir again.Ruby, the mysterious Himalayan cat who came with the property, watches it all unfold from her perch on the porch rail, her gaze as knowing as the river itself.In a town shaped by tides and time, A Confluence of Hearts is a tender, atmospheric novel about the town on two merging rivers and the merging of lives - where love flows in like morning fog and settles deep.
