Carver's Cove

Jackson thought you can’t go home again, but home won’t let him leave.

Jackson Boone has made a life for himself in NYC as an artist for an advertising agency, far away from the town where he grew up. Carver’s Cove is full of memories he wants to forget â€" memories like his mother killing herself and getting chased out of town by people who’d watched him grow up. But Jackson’s been left with an unexpected inheritance â€" the gloomy Victorian mansion on the hill, which pulls him back to his hometown.

His plan is to return to Carver’s Cove to sell the house ASAP. Yet Jackson doesn’t expect to connect with his old high school crush Mike Travis, who now serves as the Deputy Sheriff and has been harbouring a monster crush of his own. Nor did Jackson think he would get involved with Billy Haskell, the tearaway kid who’s been squatting in the mansion, and who desperately needs a father. Carver’s Cove may just offer Jackson the family he has always wanted.

But there are plenty who aren’t pleased to see Jackson Boone back in town at all. His presence threatens to dredge up long buried secrets â€" secrets that could bring to light the dark underbelly of this small town and destroy the lives of everyone if revealed. Jackson wants to expose the lies of the past, but doing so threatens to throw his new family into danger.

James Ryder, author of Dream Lover and Merrywood Hall, brings you a novel of suspense and romance all in one. Carver’s Cove is a tale of love, lies, tragedy, and truth.
