Finding Home: A Sweet, Later-in-Life, Small Town Romance (Second Chances in Sapphire Bay) by Leeanna Morgan

Finding Home is a heartwarming, later-in-life romance about facing your fears and making the most of unexpected second chances. At 59, Julie Harrison thought she’d always be a journalist—until a sudden layoff proved otherwise. With her children living their own lives and a long-ago divorce firmly in her past, she arrives in Sapphire Bay, Montana. She enrolls in cooking classes at the Welcome Center, hoping to fill her empty days while she figures out what she’ll do with her life. Julie never expected to rediscover the joy of baking her grandmother’s recipes. Or to meet the developer whose vision for the future challenges everything she thought she wanted. Cole Morrison is 64 and finally ready to build something that matters. After three decades of constructing luxury resorts and moving on before forming attachments, the Finley Point project is different. With the county fast-tracking the project, Cole needs to gain the community’s support. What he doesn’t expect is to meet a woman who sees right through his polished veneer to the lonely man beneath. When someone sabotages the resort project, he needs help finding who is responsible. Julie’s twenty-five years as an investigative journalist makes her the perfect partner. As they work together to uncover who’s trying to destroy Cole’s dream, something unexpected blooms between them. Julie begins to see that Cole isn’t just another corporate developer—he’s a man confronting his own mortality and searching for the same sense of purpose she craves. Read more
