Holding the Hearth: a Cozy Fantasy Novel

By Everett Marston

In Holding the Hearth, a quiet town built on routine changes when Nora Elwood inherits a boardinghouse that seems to respond to presence and restraint. As she runs the house, guests sleep better, conflicts fade, and comfort spreads through the town. Yet the calm carries a cost. A baker cannot leave, a rail engineer sees time bend, and a student uncovers a history of peace without progress. Nora must choose between preserving harmony or allowing uncertainty back into lives she has steadied. Holding the Hearth is a cozy fantasy about care, control, and the true price of comfort.
