He’s her best friend. Her first safe harbor. Now he’s the protector tasked with keeping her alive.
Veronica Hargrave has dedicated herself to her family, her community, and the beloved Hideaway--the B&B she runs with her sisters. But when a powerful developer sets his sights on their oceanfront land, the typical construction annoyances quickly rise to blatant intimidation.
And just when Roni needs him most, her best friend is there.
Brayden Leggett has always been her protector, long before he made it his profession. He’s come back to Brookwell Island to keep Roni safe and, stepping into her world, he discovers his feelings for her won’t stay buried any longer.
Living and working under the same roof, their foundation of friendship begins to shift into something undeniably deeper. When the developer’s efforts to take over the Hideaway escalate to sabotage, Roni is caught in the crosshairs and Brayden will push every limit to keep her safe.
Because protecting her is his duty, but loving her is everything.
If you like small town protector romance with a dash of suspense, toe-curling kisses, and a swoon-worthy best friends-to-lovers happy ever after, you’ll love Hideaway Reunion!
