Beach Cottage Haven, Donna Munro

Pepper Cassidy can wield a drop saw like most women use a nail file. But when she returns to Blueshell Beach, the last thing she needs is a sexy, unfriendly neighbour to distract her from the family cottage renovations. 

Keegan Dallas left the city for a peaceful coastal life-surfing, yoga and a chance to regain custody of his son, Joe while also trying to heal from PTSD. He would rather be alone but how long can he ignore the beautiful, clumsy, sunshine-optimistic neighbour?

After a tragic accident renders Keegan's son Joe mute, can the these two unlikely neighbours put aside their differences to come together to bring back his voice? If they don't nail each other to a renovated wall first that is. 

If grief renders you mute can love find the words to save you?

'A wonderfully rich read, great depth of characterisation, movement, and well-crafted threading of story within story.' - Sally Ryhanen - Writer
