Penelope

For three years, Penelope's ruled her fishing boat and restaurant with an iron will and a sharp tongue, keeping her five-man crew firmly in line-and at a distance. She's ignored the heat simmering between them, burying her desires under long hours and a no-nonsense attitude. But when a devastating fire reduces her restaurant to ash and leaves her crew without a roof over their heads, everything changes.

Now, crammed into her tiny home and forced to rebuild from the ground up, Penelope discovers that her self-control isn't as ironclad as she thought. Her crew-the strong, loyal, maddeningly irresistible men she's kept at bay-aren't just watching her. They're waiting. Waiting for her to crack. Waiting to show her exactly how deep their feelings run-and just how much they're willing to risk for her.

With her home, her business, and her carefully guarded heart on the line, Penelope must make an impossible choice: hold onto the walls she's built or let them shatter in the face of the passion she's denied for too long.

Penelope is a slow-burn, high-heat reverse harem romance with emotional depth, sizzling tension, and five fiercely devoted men who would do anything for the woman they can't stop loving. Set in a coastal town filled with second chances, found family, and just the right amount of chaos, this story features polyamorous romance, forced proximity, hurt/comfort, and enough steam to fog your screen. Perfect for readers who crave stories about messy love, healing after heartbreak, and falling for more than one man-with no choosing required.
