Welcome to Hope Harbor!

Hope Harbor Series lighthouse


Hope Harbor is a fictional small town on the north shore of Lake Erie, in Ontario, Canada.  There are other real-life cities and towns mentioned in the Hope Harbor books. With a little geographic investigation, you might be able to pinpoint Hope Harbor’s location on a map. πŸ˜‰

All books in the Hope Harbor series are standalone stories focused on a different couple’s romance. You’ll visit the same settings across multiple books, and there may be some character crossover pop-ins, but there’s no reading order. Start anywhere in the series, and follow whatever path you choose in Hope Harbor! They all lead to a satisfying happily ever after. ❀️

Landmarks in Hope Harbor

The waterfront – The inner bay area includes public and private beach areas with sand that is groomed daily. This portion of the lake has many high sandbars that allow swimmers to wade out a long distance before reaching deep water. A pedestrian pier is located to the east of the swimming area. Swimming is not permitted (or safe) off the pier, due to undertow conditions. Motorized jet ski rentals are available for use in specified areas.

Carr’s Falls – A small waterfall Β known primarily to the town’s local population. The river below the drop is shallow enough to wade right up to the falls… if you’re willing to get wet.Β
