A Beach House Beginning

By RaeAnne Thayne
A Beach House Beginning by RaeAnne Thayne digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

A heartfelt romance novel from New York Times bestselling author RaeAnne Thayne

Sometimes, the real crime is not giving in to love. 

When ex-con Wes Calhoun moves into Brambleberry House, his neighbor Jenna Haynes gives him a wide berth. Widowed, and the former target of a stalker, the single mom errs on the side of extreme caution when it comes to men—and her heart. So Jenna vows to keep a neighborly distance. Until she needs help—and surly Wes comes to the rescue. 

Jenna learns that Wes’s tattooed exterior belies his kindness, dedication to his daughter and his lonely heart. Wrongfully convicted and exonerated, Wes is just trying to piece his life back together. And he stirs feelings Jenna thought long buried. Should she trust an ex-con with her heart, or safely lock it up and throw away the key? 

Includes a free bonus story: A Mother's Hope

From Harlequin Special Edition: Believe in love. Overcome obstacles. Find happiness.

A Beach House Beginning Reviews

3.0
“Great novel for an in-between book, especially if you’re listening to it on audio. Found it on the Libby App! Helped pass time while crocheting a blanket. Cute, slow build romance novel without any major twists or turns. Depicts attraction between unlikely and unsuspecting people, with a small amount of drama towards the end!”
