The Cartography of Us

Mara Vale knows how to restore a map. Finding her own way is another matter. Returning to Bellwether Bay to sort her late aunt’s charts, Mara expects six quiet weeks. Instead, she finds a beloved glasshouse facing an uncertain future—and Eli Rowan, the boatbuilder she never quite forgot. As they trace old footpaths and gather the town’s stories, the distance between them begins to disappear. But when a London opportunity and a summer storm redraw their plans, saving a place will be easier than admitting what they want from each other.
