He built his life around protecting a coastal community. The investigator sent to expose him may be the only man he can trust.
Mason Sutterly keeps Rookery Mobile Health running through ferry delays, coastal storms, and impossible budgets. Then a missing vial of insulin and fraudulent claims tied to his credentials put his clinic, his license, and every patient who depends on him at risk.
State investigator Evan Serrick trusts records more than people. He arrives expecting resistance. Instead, he finds a sharp, stubborn nurse practitioner who reports every discrepancy, challenges every assumption, and refuses to abandon his community.
As the evidence points toward a larger scheme involving the clinic's billing vendor, Mason and Evan are pushed together across island routes, storm shelters, and long nights following a trail someone is desperate to bury.
When Evan formally steps back from the clinic investigation, it should make everything simpler. Instead, it removes the last excuse to ignore the attraction between them.
But trust is harder than desire-and Evan's determination to prevent another disaster may cost him the man he has come to love.
When sabotage turns the investigation dangerous, Mason and Evan must expose the scheme before it destroys the clinic and the future they have barely begun to imagine.
The Harbor We Choose is a steamy, slow-burn M/M romantic suspense featuring competent heroes, professional conflict, coastal small-town danger, forced proximity, found family, open-door intimacy, and a guaranteed happily-ever-after.
