For Heaven's Sake: A Maplewood Cove Mystery Romance (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798195612016)

New Life. New Town. Same Trouble.

After her mother's death shatters her world, Abigail Shaw leaves Seattle behind in search of a place where she can breathe again. Maplewood Cove - a small, coastal New England town - seems like the perfect escape. Quiet. Safe. A chance to start over.

Instead, she arrives to a suspicious crash, a broken window, and a neighbor who shows up exactly when she needs him - and even when she doesn't.

After the break-in, Abby soon finds herself swept into Officer Nick Stratton's steady orbit and, somehow, into the warm embrace of his family. Someone may have tried to break into her home, but the real surprise is how quickly this quirky coastal town - and one infuriatingly dependable detective - begin to feel like home.

As Abby tries to build a new life, she's drawn to her new neighbor and the way he sees past her grief to the woman she's trying to become. But can she escape the shadows of her past long enough to let anyone in? Or will hidden secrets and the scars of yesterday make that future impossible?

A romantic mystery wrapped in suspense and deeply human at its core, For Heaven's Sake is a story about grief, found family, unexpected love, and the quiet strength it takes to choose a new beginning.
