Nantucket Rose - by Cf Frizzell Paperback

About the Book

Maggie Jordan can't wait to convert an historic Nantucket home into a B&B, but doesn't expect to fall for mariner Ellis Chilton, who has more claim to the house than Maggie realizes.

Book Synopsis

Maggie Jordan can't wait to convert an historic Nantucket home into a B&B and move on to her next project. However, her intention to flip it for a sizeable profit is something she must keep to herself if she hopes to win the acceptance of islanders and popularize the business. She can't afford to grow attached to the house, or succumb to Nantucket's quaint charms, and definitely must not fall in love.

But neither can Maggie resist the conundrum that is Ellis Chilton, a reserved, solitary islander and mariner since childhood. Seemingly content being attached only to her boat and the ocean, Ellis projects a refreshing air of independence, an aura of conviction and grit that tugs Maggie ever closer to a decision that will alter both their lives.

She grew up in community newspapers and established an awardwinning twenty-two-year career that culminated in the role of founder/publisher. Friz discovered her passion for writing in high school but credits powerhouse authors Lee Lynch, Radclyffe, and the generous family that is Bold Strokes Books for inspiration. She's into history, acoustic guitar, New England pro sports--and, most of all, her wife, Kathy, with whom she makes a home in Sandwich on Cape Cod.
