Starlight Cove: Almost My Best Friend

By Piper Vance

In Starlight Cove, Sophie West has spent years being the woman everyone leans on.

As the steady heart behind The Rusty Anchor, she knows how to keep a room warm, a town stitched together, and other people's lives from falling apart. What she does not know is how to ask for something of her own.

Then Elliot Hart arrives after the storm.

A coastal engineer with a talent for spotting weaknesses before they break, Elliot comes to assess the damage along the harbor. He is precise, quiet, and entirely too good at seeing what other people miss. When a housing mix-up leaves him in the tiny apartment above Sophie's bar, her one private refuge suddenly no longer belongs only to her.

He reorganizes her kitchen. Notices every crack in the walls. Hears too much. As the town rebuilds around them, the tension between them shifts into something steadier, deeper, and far more dangerous than either of them expected.

Because Elliot is supposed to be temporary.

And Sophie has spent too many years believing she is safest when she carries everything alone.

Set in the final chapter of the Starlight Cove series, Almost My Best Friend is a slow-burn small-town romance about quiet devotion, shared weight, and the kind of love that does not arrive in fireworks, but in the courage to stay.

Please leave an honest review of the books in this series. Yours, Piper.
