The Vet of Thistlewick Harbor

Some inheritances are just property. This one hands her back to herself.Dr. Josephine Calder has spent three years perfecting the art of being too busy to feel anything--eighty-hour weeks, a broken engagement, a city practice that measures success in client retention instead of the animals actually in her care. Then a lawyer's email arrives: her late uncle has left her his veterinary clinic in the harbor town she hasn't visited in six years.She comes to Thistlewick Harbor to sell it. She stays because a lobsterman's injured dog needs help the same Saturday she arrives, and Eli Bramwell--the harbor's steady, quietly stubborn rescue volunteer--won't stop showing up with something injured and no better option.Between a tangled seal pup, a flooded surgical suite, and a whole town that refuses to let its only vet clinic close twice, Jo starts to remember the version of herself she left behind years ago--the one who never doubted, for a single moment, that this work was exactly what she was built for.But letting a harbor town keep her means trusting it--and Eli--with the parts of herself she's spent two years protecting.The Vet of Thistlewick Harbor is a small-town, slow-burn romance about grief, second chances, and the quiet, steady kind of love that shows up before you ask.
