OFF THE HOOK releases October 26th! May I present… Jasper Davies and Wendy Darling!! Excuse me while I freak out by how BEAUTIFUL these two are!!
This stunning cover was illustrated and designed by the brilliant Alison Coté (alisoncote.com) and she absolutely NAILED IT. The seagulls? Jasper’s watch? Wendy’s ribbon? I’m obsessed. She captured the coastal vibes and Peter Pan mix perfectly.

I know about my reputation as Never Harbor’s secluded single dad. But I have everything I need: my imaginative son, my dog, and our remodeled cottage by the sea.
That is, until my nanny quits.
My brother’s ex-fiancee, Wendy Darling, is an elementary school teacher with a free summer. The last thing I need is to get tangled in his mess, but my family thinks she’s a perfect fit for the job. Turns out, she fits in better than I could have imagined.
Wendy is nothing like I expected. She’s kind and adventurous, with a beautiful laugh that washes my worst nightmares away. She pushes past my silence and sees more of my true self than anyone has in years. And my six-year-old son is falling for her just as quickly.
Being with Wendy can never happen. Not when my younger brother is her ex-fiance. Not when she’s so close to our family. Not when our small coastal town gossips the way that it does.
But after so long in the dark, Wendy makes me feel something. Falling for her feels a lot like flying instead.
I know happy endings only belong in fairy tales, but I’m close to stealing one for myself.
