No Plans to Stay (The Callahans of Bellhaven Book 1)
About
Book One in The Callahans of Bellhaven: seven siblings, one storm-wrecked town, and a steamy standalone romance for each of them.
She’s here to close the deal. He’s here to stop her. There’s only one bed.
Six weeks after Hurricane Delia tore through Bellhaven, South Carolina, master carpenter Rhett Callahan is holding his father’s company together with sawdust and stubbornness. He has thirty-eight people on payroll, a debt his family doesn’t know about, and one job standing between the Callahans and ruin: restoring the historic Harbor Inn for the developer who wants to buy up the whole waterfront.
Then the developer’s architect arrives in the wrong boots.
Sloane Mercer is sharp, exact, and in Bellhaven for one reason: deliver the inn on time, collect her bonus, and get back to Atlanta before the debt she’s hiding catches up with her. She has a deadline, a plan, and nowhere to sleep. Every room in the county is full of storm crews, except the apartment over Rhett’s workshop.
One bed. Two shifts. A yellow legal pad full of rules neither of them can keep.
He works days. She works nights. The bed is never cold, and the two of them were never supposed to want to share it. But as the inn comes back to life board by board, Sloane starts to see what Rhett is really fighting for, and Rhett starts to hope she might stay. Until a second storm hits, a secret surfaces, and the report with her name on it puts everything he loves in the path of the bulldozers.
No Plans to Stay is a steamy, open-door small-town romance with a grumpy carpenter, a heroine with one foot out the door, and a town worth saving. It’s Book One in The Callahans of Bellhaven, but it stands on its own with a guaranteed happily ever after.
