What's Left of Me

Quiet and steadfast, lobsterman Holden Foster has loved Kate Belshaw since he was an awkward teenager without a hope of winning her heart. When she married his best friend right out of high school, he believed she was lost to him forever. That didn't stop him from watching over her and her young son each time her military husband deployed to the far side of the world. Fifteen years later, she's a single mom-and he's no longer a self-conscious teen. He's always been there for Kate, even if she didn't realize it. But can he convince her to take a chance on a man who will love her the way she deserves?

A surprise pregnancy at eighteen derailed Kate's college dreams, and her youthful marriage to Bittersweet Harbor's golden boy was far from blissful. Now a single mom, she waits tables at her family's iconic diner and bakes in her spare time, determined to save enough money to open her own pastry shop. She has no time for distractions-especially not the strong, silent kind that make her heart beat faster and her knees go weak. But when a dark secret from Holden's past resurfaces, it could destroy everything Kate thought she knew about him-and herself.
