SAFE HARBOR by: Luanne Rice

After every storm there is a place to return to--if you have the courage to follow your heart... Dana's artistic gift has led her all over the world in search of new oceanscapes. Her breathtaking underwater canvases evoke all the beauty & romance of the seas she & her beloved sister, Lily, have sailed. But when a shattering event takes Lily from her forever, Dana must leave her nomadic artist's life for the salt marshes & tidal creeks of her home, Hubbard's Point, to become a mother to Lily's 2 daughters, Quinn & Allie.

Quinn may be her toughest challenge. She hides her secret diary in a remote cove & clings fiercely to private mementos of her parents. Already an expert sailor, she's convinced their deaths at sea were no accident. Dana, too, is troubled by the puzzle of what could have gone so terribly wrong on that clear night... Support comes with the unexpected reappearance of an old friend, marine biologist Sam Trevor. When he was 8, Dana taught him to sail & unlocked his dreams of the sea. Now he's a tall, laughing-eyed pro - and he's been in love with Dana for all the years that have passed between them...

Dana can't begin to contemplate opening her heart again, especially now and to a man she can only allow herself to see as a student. But together they begin to discover that home is the center of endless mysteries, & that many of the answers lie in the depths that surge through Dana's paintings & into all of their lives...
