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

After a panic attack blows up her picture‑perfect corporate life, Chloe Daniels escapes to Cape Cod to finally breathe again. She’s sworn off stress, relationships, and anything that might derail her fresh start.

Then she meets Jett Lawson. The literature-loving bad boy is tattooed, sharp‑tongued, and impossible to ignore.

He sees straight through her polished walls and challenges her to want more than she ever thought was possible out of life. But letting him in means letting go of the woman she was supposed to be… and risking her heart in the process.

Perfect for readers who love grumpy/sunshine sparks, cinnamon‑roll bad boys, and small‑town coastal charm.
