Cottages, Council & Coming Home: A Delaney Novel

By Greer Delaney

Paige Bennett believes Delaney needs protecting-even from the people who love it.

As a pragmatic town councilwoman, Paige is pushing for seasonal rental limits before her coastal hometown becomes a place only visitors can afford to love. The plan is practical, necessary, and deeply unpopular.

Then Riley Sloane comes home.

Once the ambitious girl who left Delaney-and Paige-behind, Riley is now a celebrated chef planning to open a year-round restaurant in the old harbor market building. She understands the need for housing protections, but she also knows new businesses need room to survive.

Forced onto the same working committee, Paige and Riley clash over policy, preservation, and what revitalization should really mean. But the more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to ignore the truth beneath all their arguments: some feelings were never as finished as they pretended.

As public hearings, town gossip, winter storms, and one very involved community push them closer, Paige and Riley must decide whether coming home means holding onto the past-or finally building a future together.

Cottages, Council & Coming Home is a warm, heartfelt small-town sapphic romance about second chances, chosen roots, civic chaos, and the kind of love that finds its way back when both people are finally ready to stay.
