Life has a time limit. Love doesn’t.

For most of her 78 years, Maddie Cole has done things the ‘wrong’ way. But throwing out the societal rule book meant sacrificing romantic success for career highs — a move she’s never regretted...much. Now retired, she relishes the freedom to travel with her only daughter, Anne. Their latest trip is a long weekend in picturesque Bar Harbor, and Maddie is determined to enjoy every last minute.

Octogenarian Nate Jacobs has always taken pride in doing things the ‘right’ way. He built a successful legal career by following the rules, and now, retired and widowed, he runs a tight ship at the Hope Point Lighthouse B&B. Perhaps that’s why Maddie, with her disregard for convention, catches his eye.

When Anne is unexpectedly called away on work business, Maddie finds herself compelled to stay on at Hope Point, alone. Over breakfast conversations and long walks, their connection deepens, and both must confront a startling truth: they've been crossing paths for decades without ever truly meeting. Now, with limited time ahead and unlimited possibility between them, they face the ultimate question:

Is this perfect timing, or are they out of time for everything they could be?

A tender, inspiring emotional journey that proves some connections transcend age, time, and expectation. Perfect for readers who believe the best chapters of life might still be unwritten.

Book 1 in the groundbreaking Maddie & Nate series—where the same destined couple finds love across different timelines.
