Ferries, Fences & Falling Hard: A Delaney Novel

Becca Doyle believes systems work best when they are precise, efficient, and built to hold under pressure. Hannah Pike knows better. At the Delaney ferry dock, nothing moves according to theory for long. People hesitate, adjust, push back, and find their own way through-especially when the town starts resisting a redesign no one asked for and everyone has an opinion about. As the architect brought in to overhaul the harbor flow, Becca is determined to fix a system that has relied on habit for far too long. Hannah, who runs harbor operations and lives inside the daily realities Becca is trying to improve, has no intention of letting an outsider redraw the town's rhythms without a fight. What begins as a sharp professional clash quickly turns into something far more complicated. Because the more they challenge each other, the harder it becomes to ignore the pull beneath the friction-or the way each woman sees exactly where the other is strongest, and where she is most likely to break. But in a town where change never arrives quietly, falling for the person standing on the other side of the argument may be the most destabilizing force of all. Ferries, Fences & Falling Hard is a slow-burn sapphic small-town romance about pressure, adaptation, stubborn hearts, and the kind of love that refuses to stay neatly contained.
