When the Pier Remembers

After her grandmother's death, Emily Hartwell discovers a locked chest that has been hidden for decades. Inside: a faded journal from the summer of 1938, filled with the story of a love her grandmother kept secret her entire life — a young pianist named Thomas Hale, a seaside amusement pier strung with colored lights, and a summer that ended before it was finished.Following the journal's trail to a small coastal town, Emily finds Crystal Pier on the edge of demolition. The man fighting to save it — architect Jack Merritt — has been standing at that barrier alone for two years. As Emily uncovers the pieces of her grandmother's story one by one — an unsent letter, two names carved into a wall, a piece of music composed for someone who never heard it — she begins to understand that some histories don't stay in the past. They wait, quietly, for the right person to find them.With only three weeks before the demolition vote, Emily must decide how far she's willing to go to finish a story that was never hers to begin with.When the Pier Remembers is a dual-timeline clean romance about inherited love, the courage to preserve what matters, and the moments that refuse to end.Start reading today and discover what the pier has been keeping safe for eighty-six years.
