The Inn at Osprey Cove
Maggie Hartwell
Diane Marsh is forty-seven, freshly divorced, and not sentimental. When her great-aunt leaves her the Saltbox Inn—a weather-beaten bed-and-breakfast on the coast of Maine—her plan is simple: assess, sell, leave. She has not been back to Osprey Cove in twenty-five years. She has her reasons.
The first problem: the inn is worse than she expected. Rotted clapboards, a kitchen from 1987, wiring that predates the Korean War. The second problem: the contractor her aunt hired for repairs is Will Connelly—the man Diane was in love with the summer she was twenty-two. The man she left without a word.
Will is not bitter. He is steady, competent, and annoyingly present. He has spent his adult life in Osprey Cove—building things, losing his wife to cancer, raising a daughter about to leave for college. He would like an explanation. He would also like to finish the porch.
As the renovation uncovers original pine floors, handwritten recipe cards, and a town fighting to stay itself, Diane begins to question whether the bravest thing she can do at forty-seven is finally choose to stay.
The Inn at Osprey Cove is a warm, emotionally honest second-chance romance for readers who love Debbie Macomber and Jenny Colgan. Clean/sweet with coastal Maine atmosphere, found family, and biscuits worth driving six hours for.
