Harbors, Half-Truths & Homecoming: A Delaney Novel

By Greer Delaney

Eleanor Eldridge came to Delaney planning to stay invisible.

After a professional scandal derails her career, the food writer rents a room at Fiona Callahan's historic inn with one goal: regroup, recover, and write the kind of safe new piece that might put her life back in order. She does not plan to get involved in inn breakfasts, harbor fundraisers, handwritten recipe collections, or the quietly compelling woman who seems to hold the entire place together without ever asking to be noticed for it.

Fiona Callahan has spent years preserving the inn, the routines that keep it running, and the version of home she knows how to trust. Letting a temporary guest into the daily rhythm of her life is one thing. Letting Eleanor matter is something else entirely.

But Delaney has a way of drawing people in. Breakfast service disasters turn into shared routines. A fundraiser built around old harbor recipes reveals the town's deeper culinary history. And when Eleanor discovers an inn ledger full of meals, names, and evidence of how care has always been recorded here, she realizes the story she wants to write is far more personal than the polished career comeback she planned.

As Eleanor becomes more woven into the life of the inn, leaving gets harder. Telling the truth gets riskier. And Fiona must decide whether protecting what she has inherited means keeping her distance-or finally allowing herself to imagine a future that belongs to her too.

Set in the coastal town of Delaney, Harbors, Half-Truths & Homecoming is a warm, emotionally grounded sapphic romance about trust, belonging, food, memory, and the quiet ways love changes the shape of home.
