Just Listed. Kansas City Hearts, #1

Hawthorne Point was supposed to be a project. Instead, it became a home. When Noah Bennett returns to the lakeside town where generations of his family built their lives, he expects to help preserve a piece of local history-not become part of its future. Hawthorne Point has seen better days. The marina is struggling, the historic dance hall is falling apart, and developers see more value in the land than in the memories it holds.
Then Ethan Cross arrives. Driven, determined, and willing to risk everything to restore the property, Ethan believes Hawthorne Point deserves another chance. Noah isn't so sure. Saving a place is one thing. Trusting someone with your heart is another. As restoration efforts uncover decades-old journals, forgotten stories, and the legacy of those who came before them, Noah and Ethan find themselves drawn together by more than a shared goal.
But preserving the past comes with a price, and not everyone believes Hawthorne Point is worth saving.
