Thayne’s newest book in her wildly popular Haven Point series, SERENITY HARBOR
(HQN Books; on-sale July 2017), one kiss might be enough to change the course
of three people’s lives.
Tech millionaire Bowie Callahan is about the last person
that schoolteacher Katrina Bailey wants to work for. She’s only back in
charming Haven Point for one month, just to see her sister get married, and
then she’s heading back to Colombia where her teaching job, and someone
special, are waiting. Not to mention, as far as Kat can see, Bowie is arrogant,
entitled and not up to the task of caring for his young half brother, Milo.
Milo, who is on the autism spectrum, may have just been dropped in Bo’s lap and
sure, Bo is trying to do right by him, but it’s obvious that Bo’s job takes top
priority. Or at least that’s what Kat thinks. So when Bo convinces her to take
a temporary, three week nanny position with Milo, Kat is really doing it for
the cash, and because Milo is pretty darn sweet. Kat is desperately trying to
save enough to help adopt an orphaned little girl back in Colombia and if this
short-term job can get her there, then she’s willing to do pretty much
anything. But as her kindness and patience work wonders with Milo, she realizes
there's more to sexy, wary Bo than she'd ever realized.
Bo never imagined he'd be tasked with caring for a sibling
he didn't know existed. Then again, he never pictured himself impulsively
kissing vibrant, compassionate Katrina in the moonlight, especially when he
can’t afford to lose her. She’s the only thing keeping him and Milo together
until the new, permanent nanny shows up. But after that kiss, Bo realizes that
he might be the one to make Kat’s dream of family come true…and he’s hoping
there's room in it for him, and Milo, too.
My Thoughts…
Serenity Harbor is pure sweetness and heart shared in an
amazingly loving story. The location
is perfect for the story of Bowie, Milo, and Katrina. There is so much need, love, hurt, and
fear within the relationship of these three.
Each character, even little Milo, have their own history to work
through. Bowie and Milo have to deal
with the loss of their mother and the rough starts on life she gave each of
them. Katrina is dealing with her bad
boyfriend choices and the hopes of adopting her daughter.
Katrina is my hero.
She takes it upon herself to reach out to a little boy who is obviously
struggling with life and make his life so much better. She has the patience and understanding to
know what Milo needs and how to reach out to him. Katrina could take a breakdown and turn it
around with just a few words. The best
part of the story for me is seeing Milo come out of his shell and become more
involved in life.
Serenity Harbor is an easy book to read. I fell into the story and didn’t want to
come back out. I could feel the love of
the town, the townspeople, the families, and Bowie and Katrina. I recommend picking up your own copy.

New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author RaeAnne
Thayne loves words. Her love affair started as soon as she learned to read,
when she used to devour anything she could get her hands on: cereal boxes,
encyclopedias, the phone book, you name it! She loves the way words sound, the
way they look on the page and the amazing way they can be jumbled together in
so many combinations to tell a story.
Her love of reading and writing those words led her to a
fifteen-year career in journalism as a newspaper reporter and editor.
Through it all, she dreamed of writing the kind of stories
she loved best. She sold her first book in 1995 and since then she’s published
more than 40 titles. Her books have won many honors, including three RITA®
Award nominations from the Romance Writers of America and a Career Achievement
Award from RT Book Reviews.
RaeAnne finds inspiration in the rugged northern Utah
mountains where she lives with her hero of a husband and their children. She
loves to hear from readers and can be reached through her website at www.raeannethayne.com
