one woman and three men, at least · Pellow Quay

Room at the Anchorage

A week of gales. One last room above the harbour pub. Three men who have belonged to each other for years — and want her anyway.

Relief chef Maddie Lewin has her next six weeks planned to the hour, until the sea cancels every crossing to her island contract. The only bed left in Pellow Quay is above the Anchorage, run by Ned on the bar, Aubrey on the rooms and the books, and Piran on a temperamental old range nobody else can light.

When the storm packs the bar with stranded crews and Piran is one pair of hands short, Maddie steps onto his range. By midweek all three want her, openly and together — and she is sure she is only the guest a finished household is kind to until the boats run.

Then the forecast breaks early, the island offers her a permanent post they cannot match, and everyone is too kind to ask her to stay.

Warm, open door and explicit, with the men together on the page, a full-figured heroine adored exactly as she is, no jealousy, and an HEA where nobody is anybody's second choice.

Perfect for fans of Emily Rath and Tessa Bailey.
