Books like Love in Catalina Cove by Brenda Jackson
Vashti Alcindor left Catalina Cove, Louisiana, after a devastating teen pregnancy left her childless and heartbroken. A decade later she inherits her aunt’s bed‑and‑breakfast and is forced back into the town she once fled. The overnight visit of Sheriff Sawyer Grisham, who pulls her over for speeding, marks the beginning of a rocky homecoming. The B and B has fallen into disrepair, but a generous benefactor urges Vashti to reopen it. As she works to restore the property, old hurts begin to fade and new memories form—with the town and its handsome sheriff. Yet a bombshell secret threatens to unravel everything she thought she knew. With Sawyer and his teenage daughter supporting her through the storm, Vashti learns that family is sometimes about heart rather than blood.
