A Cornish Small-Town Romance Series

Wren Harbour

A windblown fishing village on the Cornish coast, where the pub is old, the family is complicated, and nobody's ever quite allowed to leave.

The Village

Three generations of one stubborn family, one hundred-year-old inn on the harbour wall, and a whole town that refuses to let you dissolve.

The Anchor & Wren

A granite pub-and-inn the Calloways have run for three generations. Every story in the harbour orbits its long oak table.

The Calloways

Four grandchildren raised by a clever grandmother, all of them braced against being left — and all of them, one by one, exactly as gettable as the rest.

Found family

Grumpy-sunshine, second chances, slow burns and happy-ever-afters — standalone love stories, one shared and incurably nosy town.

The Light You Left On

A Cornish Small-Town Romance

A grumpy Cornish publican. A drifter with two suitcases. And a spot of matchmaking played from beyond the grave.

When Faye Calloway dies, she leaves one last instruction: a stranger, hired in her will, to modernise the failing Anchor & Wren or lose it to the developers circling the harbour. Maren Voss travels light and never stays. Beck Calloway gave up everything to keep the place alive and has no intention of falling for the one woman in England guaranteed to leave. But Faye knew exactly what she was doing.

The Author

D. Johnson

D. Johnson writes grumpy-sunshine love stories set on the windblown edge of the Cornish coast, where the pubs are old, the families are complicated, and nobody's ever quite allowed to leave.

The Wren Harbour series began with a dead grandmother, a failing inn, and a stranger out in the rain. There are five more stories waiting in the harbour — and they're all coming. Come and see.
