Overview
DON'T COUNT ME OUT
Book One of the Don't Count Me Out Series
Eleanor "Nora" Kavanagh Shaw built a twenty-two-year career the hard way - one deadline, one difficult client, one 4 a.m. crisis call at a time. Three years after burying her husband, she's sharp, capable, and exactly the kind of woman a board of directors finds easiest to quietly push toward the door. They've even got a title ready for her: Strategic Advisory, Senior Emeritus. Translation: thank you, now please leave.
Nora has other plans.
Then a grease fire in her own kitchen brings Fire Captain Rafe Cruz to her door at ten o'clock on a Tuesday night - and the last thing a sixty-two-year-old widow expects to feel, watching a soot-streaked forty-seven-year-old check her stove for structural damage, is her whole carefully composed life catching fire all over again.
Rafe isn't looking to rescue her. He's looking to be let in - one unhurried dinner, one handwritten note, one honest conversation at a time - and Nora finds she's done being careful with the one thing in three years that's actually made her feel like herself.
But a corporate merger with an axe to grind, an ex-wife walking straight into Nora's boardroom, a son who wants real answers before he'll hand his mother's heart to a man in a dangerous profession, and a four-alarm fire that puts everything at risk all stand between them and whatever comes next.
Backed by three of the fiercest, funniest women in Bellhaven Harbor - a retired judge who takes no prisoners, a twice-divorced sculptor who's done being small, and a newly single ex-principal finally finding out who she is - Nora is about to learn that sixty-two isn't an ending.
It's just a very good place to start over.
Don't count her out.
