Harbor Shores

About the Book

She’s spent a lifetime running. A scruffy dog won’t leave. The island won’t either.

Tully Driscoll knows how to keep moving. A retired ferry captain with a lifetime of crossings behind her, she’s mastered the art of impermanence—nothing lasts, nothing ties her down. The year at Stillwater Inn is temporary. She’ll fulfill her friend Ida’s will, help restore the place, then sail away. But a scruffy terrier named Gonzo follows her from the marina, refusing to leave, and the other heirs slowly chip away at her defenses.

The deeper they dig into the inn’s decades-old mystery, the more Tully’s own buried history surfaces—the sister she lost young, the desperate search that ended in heartbreak, and the reason she’s never stayed anywhere long. When a connection from her past resurfaces, Tully faces the truth she’s outrun for forty years and discovers family isn’t just blood, and roots can grow even in rocky soil.

With Gonzo at her heels and the island community drawing her in, Tully must decide if she can finally stop running, embrace the complicated family she’s found, and claim the shores she’s always passed by.

Find your anchor in the island world you love with Harbor Shores, the sixth book in the Stillwater Inn series—a poignant tale of resilience, letting go of the past, and discovering that home isn’t a place you leave behind—it’s the one that finally holds you.
