Delaney's Ocracoke Cottage - Paperback

by Diana Baxter (Author)

What could be more romantic than a dreamy, charming vintage cottage on an island? Delaney's cottage on Ocracoke Island in North Carolina embodies that dream! Far removed from the hustle and bustle of city life, stepping up onto the covered front porch will leave you to breathe a sigh of relief. Inhale the salty sea mist as you relax on the cozy wooden swing. A swing that, if it could talk, would tell a lifetime of tales and warm your soul.

Delaney, a textile artist and designer, arrived on North Carolina's Ocracoke Island seeking to mend her broken heart and nurture her business. Her neighbor, Miss Opal, is filled with tales from the past. Years ago, Miss Opal came to the island to be with the man she loved, only to lose him. In a twist of fate, her nephew, Justin, an advertising executive, sells his business and moves in after his girlfriend suffers a devastating accident. In his quest to reclaim control over his life, he may have discovered the remedy to mend his heart.

Delaney invites her two best friends to the cottage for a summer getaway, which turns out to be unforgettable. They fill the cottage with laughter, love, and a few heartfelt tears. However, when Delaney's arrogant ex-fiancé unexpectedly shows up, her loyal friends ensure that he doesn't linger. What he brings with him alters her destiny-a destiny she wishes to remain in the present. When she and Justin uncover a piece of Miss Opal's history hidden in an old pickup truck in the garage, it will open hearts that were closed and bring joy.

Embark on a journey on the ferry to Ocracoke Island and visit Delaney's Cottage. There, you'll find yourself enveloped in a vibrant world brimming with joy and laughter. And you may just fall in love.
