Amy Battle is terrible at saying no.

After decades of volunteering like a saint and a divorce that forces her to slow down and self-reflect, she feels like it’s finally time to learn who she really is. When her solo self-discovery road trip lands her in the quiet maritime town of Old Saybrook, Connecticut, Amy is ready to start prioritizing herself.

Amy swears she wants to find herself, and that she’s most certainly
not looking for a new boyfriend. But after she agrees—in typical Amy fashion—to help Connor Sykes renovate his dream house, she soon has her hands full with a mysterious family and romantic sparks that she simply can’t ignore.

But when an unexpected visit brings her old life knocking at her door, Amy’s budding relationship with Connor is thrown into doubt. Amy has spent her life being a people-pleaser. Can she fight for her future and the man she’s come to love? Or will she be forced to leave Old Saybrook—and what could have been—in the rear view mirror?

With a warm & cozy small-town setting and clean romance that will tug on your heartstrings, A Reason to Stay is a thoughtful women’s fiction series that’s perfect for fans of wholesome later-in-life love stories with a guaranteed HEA.
