Nantucket Rose [Paperback]

Maggie Jordan cant wait to convert an historic Nantucket home into a B&B and move on to her next project. However, her intention to flip it for a sizeable profit is something she must keep to herself if she hopes to win the acceptance of islanders and popularize the business. She cant afford to grow attached to the house, or succumb to Nantuckets quaint charms, and definitely must not fall in love.

But neither can Maggie resist the conundrum that is Ellis Chilton, a reserved, solitary islander and mariner since childhood. Seemingly content being attached only to her boat and the ocean, Ellis projects a refreshing air of independence, an aura of conviction and grit that tugs Maggie ever closer to a decision that will alter both their lives.A lifelong Massachusetts resident, CF Frizzell (Friz) endures the telecom industry in Boston for a living but dreams of retirement days spent writing at the seashore or in an Adirondack cabin. She grew up in community newspapers and established an awardwinning twenty-two-year career that culminated in the role of founder/publisher. Friz discovered her passion for writing in high school but credits powerhouse authors Lee Lynch, Radclyffe, and the generous family that is Bold Strokes Books for inspiration. Shes into history, acoustic guitar, New England pro sportsand, most of all, her wife, Kathy, with whom she makes a home in Sandwich on Cape Cod.
