She came to heal. She didn't expect to fall for the man who could break her all over again.

After a painful divorce and the sudden loss of her father, Madison Harlow escapes to Carmel-by-the-Sea-hoping that restoring her inherited estate might help rebuild her life. But the ivy-covered manor is more than a project. It's a fresh start... and a collision course with the one man she never saw coming.

Jackson Boone is rugged, guarded, and impossible to ignore. Their renovation partnership? Complicated. Their chemistry? Instant.

As Madison works to open her heart again, she discovers more than peeling wallpaper and forgotten gardens. With help from her spirited best friend and a box of hidden journals, she uncovers whispers of a love story lost to time-and a second chance of her own, waiting to be claimed.

Return to Carmel is a heartfelt women's fiction romance about starting over, healing deep wounds, and finding love where you least expect it. Perfect for fans of Grace Meyers, Sage Parker, Colleen Hoover, and Virgin River.
