Blackberry Beach by Irene Hannon

Katherine Parker is on the cusp of having everything she ever wanted--fame, money, and acclaim. So why isn't she happy? In search of answers, she comes incognito to Hope Harbor on the Oregon coast for some R&R. Maybe in her secluded rental house overlooking the serene Pacific she'll be able to calm the storm inside.

Coffee shop owner Zach Garrett has found his niche after a traumatic loss--and he has no plans to change the life he's created. Nor does he want to get involved with his reticent new neighbor, whose past is shrouded in mystery. He's had enough drama to last a lifetime. But when Katherine and Zach are recruited to help rehab a home for foster children, sparks fly. And as their lives begin to intersect, might they find more common ground than they expected . . . and discover that, with love, all things are possible?

I think there are two stories in this book.  Zach's Aunt Stephanie has retired and visits him in Hope Harbor.  She has always put her career ahead of her personal life.  She meets one of Zach's part time employees and has to decided if she's ready to give up New York and move to Hope Harbor.  Katherine is in Hope Harbor trying to make a decision that can be life altering.  Her agent knows how to manipulate her so she doesn't want to talk to him while she's in Hope Harbor.  He ignores her wishes and starts hounding her.  Zach is content owning and operating a coffee shop.  He gave up a high stress job and is now happier than ever.  Then he meets Kat and she makes him realize he doesn't have everything he wants.   

This is a nice cozy read.  

I was given this book by Revell Publishing via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.  I was not compensated in any way.
