Bitter Brews and Secret Pages

After escaping an abusive relationship, Harper Greene is determined to rebuild her life. Seeking refuge in the small coastal town of Bayshore, South Carolina, she takes a job at Harbor Craft Brewing & Books, a charming bookstore-brewery hybrid owned by the brooding and distant Nolan Hayes. But as Harper tries to create a new life for herself, the ghosts of her past refuse to let go.

Harper’s new start comes with challenges. Nolan’s cold exterior masks a growing curiosity about the woman he’s hired—one he can’t seem to figure out. Their chemistry is undeniable, but Harper is desperate to keep her secrets buried. She’s been running from the scars left by Cole Remington, her dangerous ex who believed he owned her. But in a town this small, keeping the past hidden is easier said than done.

Trusting Nolan with her past might be her only way forward, but the truth could shatter the fragile bond they’ve begun to form. And as her secrets come dangerously close to being exposed, Harper must decide: can she really escape her past, or is it already too late?

In this romantic suspense novel of love, survival, and second chances, Bitter Brews & Secret Pages weaves together the tension of a haunting past with the promise of a new beginning. Will Harper find the strength to reclaim her life, or will the darkness she fled come back to claim her once again?
