A quiet protector. A sarcastic bartender. An unexpected baby. Sometimes the deepest love isn’t the one you look for, but the one that’s been there all along.
Adelynn
Salt Point never changes. The same rumors, the same faces, the same feeling that you'''re stuck right where you started. I've spent years hiding who I really am behind a mask of sarcasm and a wild child reputation, convinced I'm not smart enough to make it on my own. It's a lie I've come to believe. But when a one-night stand leaves me with a positive pregnancy test, my world shatters in the quietest way possible. I turn to the one person I trust with my truth, the one person who sees me: Charlie Holt. He’s my best friend, and I can't afford for him to see how truly broken I am, or that I’m in love with him.
Charlie
I grew up believing that my dreams were too big, and that a quiet life on the docks of Salt Point was all I was meant for. I've learned to be invisible to avoid scrutiny and conflict, hiding my desire to be a firefighter and a fierce protector. But then Adelynn, the vibrant, sarcastic, and beautiful woman I’ve loved in secret for years, tells me she's pregnant. My whole world shifts. I can't be invisible anymore. I won't let her believe she's alone in this, even if it means exposing my own hidden desires. I’m just her friend—or so I tell myself—but every quiet act of service, every second I spend with her, is a confession I can’t stop making.
A Place for Driftwood is an emotionally charged small-town romance with a surprise baby plot, found family, and a fiercely loyal man who would move mountains for the woman he loves—even if she doesn't know it yet.
Perfect for readers who love:
