Dear Reader,

The more time I spend in Butterfly Harbor, the more interesting the characters become. Frankie Bettencourt’s one of the strongest I’ve written. She has it all together, but even still, her insecurities mean she keeps her heart on lockdown. A firefighter following in the footsteps of her father and grandfather, she lives and breathes her work and her love for the community she serves every day. She’s tough, independent, and has known what she’s wanted from an early age. Nothing and no one will ever stand in her way…insert evil writer laugh here.

Enter Roman Salazar. He’s as determined as she is, and while he might have his sights set on a big job beyond Butterfly Harbor, he’s going to do the job he was hired to do. Even if it is the one Frankie’s been aiming for ever since she was a kid. These two are combustible from the second they breathe the same air, but rest assured, there are plenty of laughs, too, courtesy of the seniors’ Cocoon Club.

There’s something for everyone in Butterfly Harbor. Continuing readers, welcome back. To the new folk, I hope you enjoy your time here and return for more stories coming your way.
