Sand, Salt & Completely Smitten

Sand, Salt & Completely Smitten A Novel by D. R. Saenz When Margot Calloway arrives at her aunt's crumbling Victorian marsh house on the Carolina coast, she has two weeks planned and absolutely no intention of staying longer. She has a project timeline, a lease in Atlanta, and a very clear sense of who she is-a woman who manages things efficiently from a comfortable distance. Then she breaks a heel on the dock, falls into a stranger, and meets Finn Calloway: fisherman, handyman, quiet keeper of the Calloway house for fifteen years, and the most unhurried person she has ever encountered in her life. What follows is a summer of leaky faucets and kayak disasters, pelican ambushes and crab races, farmers' market mornings and bonfire nights, and the slow, steady realization that she has been moving toward this particular coast-and this particular man-for a very long time without knowing it. Sand, Salt & Completely Smitten is a warm and witty romantic comedy about putting down roots in a place that decides to keep you, finding the person who pays attention to the actual you instead of the managed version, and the specific magic of a coast that takes your heels and gives you back yourself.
