Nevermore Bookstore

Kerrigan Byrne and Cynthia St. Aubin

Book 1 of Townsend Harbor

In a quirky coastal Washington town, bookstore owner Cady Bloomquist has fallen for a mysterious regular customer she knows only by his weekly phone calls and the name 'Fox.' When a break-in puts Cady in danger, the reclusive, battle-scarred man behind the calls is forced out of hiding to protect her, and the two must navigate the gap between the voice she loves and the guarded, wounded man standing in front of her. The story blends romantic comedy banter with grumpy-sunshine chemistry, small-town charm, and heavier threads about chronic illness and trauma recovery.
