Keep the Light On: A steamy small town romance

By Ivy Sexton

Nora Cordell can pull a pint, calm a lobsterman, and spot a man pricing her town from fifty feet - all before the chowder's done. And the chowder cannot be rushed.

Neither, for the record, can she.

Jared Moretti closes towns for a living. Learn the locals, find the number, sign, leave. Easy. Except the woman behind the Salt & Anchor's bar won't name a number, keeps serving him opinions with his drink, and looks at him like she can see straight through the expensive coat to the man who forgot he was in there. Also, apparently he's been sitting in Earl's stool for a week. Nobody warned him. She was enjoying it too much.

He should have left after one drink. Instead he's learning what closing time means when the sign's flipped, the town's asleep, and the only thing still open is negotiable.

She's not selling. He's not leaving. Somebody's about to lose this standoff all night long.

Keep the light on.

A steamy enemies-to-lovers standalone in the Hartley Cove series. Guaranteed happily-ever-after. The jukebox skips. Nobody's complaining.
