The Hideaway Echo

When Isla Prescott inherits a boathouse on the tranquil shores of Hideaway Lake, she’s stunned to learn it belonged to an aunt she never knew existed. With no memory of this estranged relative—or why her family never spoke of her—Isla arrives in Hideaway Lake seeking answers. But as she settles into the cozy lakeside cottage, she quickly realizes the past isn’t ready to stay hidden.

Enter Dane Lawson, a rugged yet guarded renovation expert who prefers the company of wood and tools over people. Hired to restore the timeworn boathouse, Dane rolls into town in his trusty RV, determined to rebuild his business—without getting attached. But the moment he meets Isla, an independent woman searching for her roots, sparks fly, and despite his trust issues, he can’t help but admire her determination to reclaim her family’s lost history.

When an unexpected discovery beneath the boathouse shakes the town’s quiet façade, long-buried family secrets and small-town whispers threaten to change everything. As Isla and Dane uncover the truth about the past, they’ll also find themselves drawn to the healing power of love, home, and second chances.

A heartfelt, emotionally rich novel brimming with family drama, small-town charm, and the journey of self-discovery, The Hideaway Echo is a captivating tale of resilience, belonging, and the unbreakable ties of family.
