Welcome to the rugged coastlines and forest-fringed shores of the San Juan Islands in the Pacific Northwest, where the men of the Evergreen Rescue team don’t just respond to emergencies, they risk everything… including their hearts.
In this series you’ll find:
- Protective first responder heroes who carry secrets of their own.
- Resilient women who’ve rebuilt their lives and face unexpected threats.
- A thread of danger and mystery that’s woven through all four books, making each installment richer when read in order.
- Small town settings, found family vibes, smart banter, and slow-burn emotional stakes.
Whether you dive in from Book 1 or pick your favorite trope, this series delivers heart, heat, and suspense.
Books in Order:
Hidden Harbor (Book 1) – When Anya Rose moves to Friday Harbor to start fresh, she’s sworn off risks… until the body she discovers and the shadows of her past collide with search-and-rescue leader Drew Fenwick. He’s broody, serious and protective—and when her world starts unraveling, he won’t let her face it alone.
Deep Waters (Book 2) – Rae never planned to fall for Zach Fenwick, her best friend’s brother and the man she’s been avoiding for years. But when she moves into her late cousin’s house to care for two kids—with Zach there to help—“temporary” turns complicated fast.
Fast Currents (Book 3) – Lucy Millen’s glass-studio sanctuary is meant for art, focus and peace—but when Park Ranger Clayton “Clay” Robertson barges in with his crooked grin and a community art class that forces them to partner up, Lucy must choose between safety and letting someone help hold her heart.
Wild Tides (Book 4) – Violet Fenwick is tired of being protected—especially by Lee Murphy, her brother’s best friend and the broody author who’s made it his mission to keep her safe. But when a rescue call leaves Lee injured, she moves in to help him recover, and ratchets up the tension neither can ignore. Between family meddling, simmering attraction, and a threat that hits close to home, friendship isn’t the only line they’re about to cross.

How to Read the Series:
For maximum impact, read in order (Hidden Harbor → Deep Waters → Fast Currents → Wild Tides) so you follow the ongoing suspense thread and catch all of Gran’s antics. But each book can be read as a standalone, just know you’ll catch extra layers if you read all four.
