Books by Dani Harwich

I love good bad boys, blue collar love stories, and women who have experienced life before finding real love. Small towns, second acts, and stories that aren’t just in it for the spice (although trust me, the spice is there!) are my specialty.

If you love those too, you’ll enjoy my This Love series. They can be read out of order and are technically interconnected standalones, but I suggest starting with This Love is Permanent.

Spoiler alert: Jett will always be my favorite.

This Love is PERMANENT | This Love Book #1

After a panic attack brought on by burnout shatters her perfect corporate life, Chloe Daniels walks away from the career that has been slowly draining her. Trading city chaos for Cape Cod calm, she’s ready for quiet mornings, ocean breezes, and most importantly, no stress. All she wants to do is focus on finally writing her book and reinventing her life.

But when she meets Jett Lawson, a gorgeous tattoo artist with a penchant for books and major bad boy vibes, she can't seem to stay away. He sees straight through her polished persona, and there's more to him than meets the eye. He’s everything Chloe doesn’t need…and exactly what she can’t resist. Jett pushes her to loosen up and chase everything she’s been too scared to want. Falling for him means risking the carefully controlled world she left behind and letting go of the woman she’s always been told she should be.

On the coast where she came to find herself, Chloe might just lose her heart instead.

This Love is DELICIOUS | This Love Book #3

Jay and Eve’s story is coming September 2026! Available to preorder now.

When Eve Harrison’s best friend ditches Boston for small town Cape Cod and finds her happily‑ever‑after, Eve is forced to admit the truth...her life just isn’t sparking joy anymore. Her publishing job is a nightmare, her dating life is a wasteland, and the only thing she actually loves is the agency she’s building from scratch. So when her lease ends and Chloe's cousin Jenna has a spare room available, moving to Cape Cod to help with wedding planning while getting her new business off the ground seems like the perfect plan.

Except for Jay Dockerel.

The broody restaurant owner, chef, and single dad has made it very clear he wants nothing to do with her…even though they keep running into each other, his daughter (and everyone else) adores her, and the tension between them puts the town fireworks display to shame.

Jay doesn’t mess with tourists. Eve doesn’t do men who play hard to get. But sometimes the best love stories happen when you stop following the rules.
