Sometimes the bravest choice isn't leaving...
-it's choosing to stay.
When Elara returns to the seaside town of Willowbay, she isn't looking for forever. She's looking for quiet. For steady ground. For one small corner of the world that finally feels like home.
Running the warm and welcoming Cinnamon Light Caf should have been her fresh start.
But fresh starts have a way of stirring old fears.
Rowan has always been good at one thing: leaving before life gets complicated. Drifting from place to place has kept his heart safe-and his future uncomplicated. Until one late evening, one glowing caf window, and one stubborn woman begin to change everything.
As financial pressures threaten the caf and unexpected opportunities pull Rowan in a different direction, Elara and Rowan find themselves standing at the edge of something neither of them planned...
Something that might be worth the risk.
Set in the cozy coastal town of Willowbay, When the Lights Stay On is a tender, slow-burn small-town romance.
