The Off-Season

Off-season. Empty rooms. One consultant who was never supposed to stay.Elena Marsh is clinging to her grandmother's cliffside Marsh Light Inn as Cape Verity's harbor goes quiet and the bills keep arriving. When polished hospitality consultant Nate Calloway shows up to evaluate the property for a corporate buyer, she expects a polite inspection-not a nor'easter that strands them under the same roof.Forced into shared work and careful conversation, their hostility thaws into reluctant partnership. Enemies-to-lovers tension, slow-burn workplace heat, and small-town pride collide as Elena fights to protect what the inn means-and Nate learns how much a house on the cliffs can cost a heart.If you love coastal Maine atmosphere, close-quarters isolation, mutual consent, and emotional intimacy that fades to black, step inside Marsh Light Inn.
