A Beautiful Mess

He laughed his way through four years of grief. She saw right through it on day one.

Carson Waverly is the funny one in a family of six siblings, the charmer at the farmers' market, the man everyone assumes is fine. He is not fine. He hasn't been fine since his wife died and left him alone with a half-finished painting and a teenage daughter who stopped talking to him.

Haley Johnson didn't move to Holland Harbor to fix a broken man. She moved there to fix herself.

But when his daughter starts finding her voice at Haley's workbench, and when Carson finally runs out of jokes to hide behind, something starts to shift between them.

It's complicated. It's imperfect. It's exactly what both of them need.

Beautiful Mess is a clean small-town romance about grief, growth, and the kind of love that doesn't ask you to be anything other than exactly what you are.
