Such Happiness as This

Robyn Landy thought her happily-ever-after would start after she retired from the U.S. Coast Guard. Instead, she discovers that her job demands were not the only reason her eight-year relationship was tanking. Struggling to find equilibrium in her life, she leases a horse at a local barn. There she befriends Kristine Owens and her son Caemon. The new setting relieves the sadness she feels at home.

A relative newcomer to rural Arcata, Grace Warren heads grant coordination for the local college's art department. As new friends encourage her to explore the local arts scene and wilderness, Grace finds herself repeatedly crossing paths with the intensely attractive Robyn. When she discovers Robyn's woodworking artistry, they seem perfect for each other and Grace easily envisions a future together.

But the decidedly reserved Robyn chafes under Grace's advice and scrutiny. Why are women always trying to change her? There's no reason to upend her life yet again--except for a kiss neither of them can forget.
