NEW GIRL IN LITTLE COVE
“Little Cove is the quintessential small town no reader will want to leave. Newfoundland’s rich history is present in the delightful Irish-Catholic dialect, dry wit, and poker-faced slow burn of a romance that thoroughly satisfies. If you’ve ever longed for the Derry Girls to grow up and fall in love, gentle Jaysus in the garden, you’ll love this book.” - Nana Malone, Novelist & Judge, 2022 Rakuten Kobo Emerging Writer Prize (Romance)
