Staying in Haven: A clean friends-to-lovers romance (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798255704781)

Harper has run the bakery on Main Street since she was twenty-two. She knows every person in Haven, every delivery schedule, every loose hinge on every door she's quietly fixed without being asked. She is good at maintenance. She has never considered this a love story.

Then a stranger arrives on Birch Lane.

Sam Larkin comes to Haven with one bag and a scandal attached to his name that he didn't cause and can't yet explain. Haven figures out who he is in forty-eight hours. The town makes its decision quietly, the way it makes all its decisions: leave him alone. Harper leaves him alone best of all.

Which is how it starts.

Morning coffee. The Saturday market. The creek walk and the covered bridge and the six-fifty mornings before Haven is awake. A friendship that builds in the particular quiet of two careful people with no interest in performing anything for each other.

Then the story outside Haven catches up, and Harper, who has spent years being sensible about wanting things, does what she does best.

She closes the door first.

Staying in Haven is a clean friends-to-lovers romance about two people who have spent their lives protecting everyone else, and what it finally costs - and gives - to choose each other.

Staying in Haven is the second novel from Emily Saintmore.
This is book two in the Haven small town romance series.
