RaeAnne Thayne takes us back to Haven Point with her story of a suspended FBI agent and an Inn owner. A woman who has a tender heart and will fight to defend her family. He's serious and by the book and hardly shows emotions. She's never wanted the life she's had and his future is up in the air. Together they must solve the mystery of a missing relative. Can their search bring forward the feelings they've had for each other for years?

Megan has been putting her dreams on hold for the last 20 years. She's getting her chance to renew her photography dreams with a gallery showing in a few weeks. Also keeping her busy is helping her brother take care of his two children and run the Inn at Haven Point, plus a photography business. Her life hasn't gone as she had wanted; with the death of her grandmother she took over the Inn and her childhood was less than perfect, and on top of that, her sister-in-law has been missing. A lot of the people in their town think her brother killed his wife and got away with it...

Megan's life gets even more complicated with the arrival of a guest by the name of Elliot Bailey, the local town hero turned crime writer. Recently injured, Elliot is back in Haven Point to heal and finish his latest book. Megan dated Elliot's deceased brother years ago, and while he's always had feelings for her, he's always hidden them because of his brother. When he ends up renting a cabin from her at the inn, they can't ignore each other, and start spending more time together, realizing they both are developing feelings for the other... But when Megan discovers Elliot has a file on the disappearance of her sister-in-law and her brother's involvement, she's unsure if his feelings for her are real and if she should take a chance on him...

THE COTTAGES ON SILVER BEACH is the eighth book in the Haven Point series by RaeAnne Thayne. She writes an emotional story that tugs on your heartstrings. I recommend her books as she's become over the years a favorite author. If your looking for a sweet, loving and emotional read this is the book for you along with all her other books. I look forward to the next book in the Haven Point series.

Book Summary

Years after betraying her, he’s back in Haven Point…and ready to learn the truth

Megan Hamilton never really liked Elliot Bailey. He turned his back on her family when they needed him the most and it almost tore them all apart. So she’s shocked when Elliot arrives at her family’s inn, needing a place to stay and asking questions that dredge up the past. Megan will rent him a cottage, but that’s where it ends—no matter how gorgeous Elliot has become.

Coming back home to Haven Point was the last thing bestselling writer Elliot Bailey thought he’d ever do. But the book he’s writing now is his most personal one yet and it’s drawn him back to the woman he can’t get out of his mind. Seeing Megan again is harder than he expected and it brings up feelings he’d thought were long buried. Could this be his chance to win over his first love?
