WELCOME TO SYCAMORE HARBOR
Where elegant estates overlook the sea—and romance is never far from mystery.
Reached by a causeway along the Massachusetts coast, Sycamore Harbor is a world of shingled buildings, graceful traditions, beautiful events, and families whose histories run deep.
Jess Ryan has built her life around creating order and making other people’s important moments appear effortless. But when trouble reaches her own door, Jess must rely on her sharp instincts, her six-pound poodle, Bella—and Andy Wurth, the man she never completely forgot.
The Sycamore Harbor Romantic Cozy Mysteries blend intriguing puzzles with seaside elegance, close relationships, and second chances worth taking.
