Rescuing Rose

An Unexpected Family Legacy

When PR specialist Rose Hamilton inherits her grandmother’s crumbling seaside cottage in Cornwall, she envisions a quiet retreat—until she uncovers a trove of unsent letters and faded photographs hinting at a secret romance that spanned decades. Determined to piece together her grandmother’s hidden past, Rose trades in her high-powered city life for salty sea breezes and the chance to restore both a home and a family legacy. As ancient beams creak and colorful wildflowers reclaim neglected gardens, Rose begins to feel the pull of a story that refuses to stay buried.

Trials of the Heart

Rose’s journey becomes more complicated when she encounters Michael Carter, the rugged local carpenter hired to reinforce the cottage’s foundations. Beneath his calm exterior lies a man nursing old wounds of his own—wounds that mirror Rose’s own fears of abandonment and betrayal. Late-night conversations by lantern light, the scent of damp earth, and the rhythmic clap of waves against the cliffs awaken in them both a mixture of longing and hesitation. Can they bridge the chasm between past heartache and new possibility?

Rediscovering Hope

As community volunteers rally to help Rose repaint weathered walls and revive the garden’s hidden pathways, she unearths clues to her grandmother’s clandestine summer fling—letters penned in haste, locket keys hidden beneath floorboards, and memories whispered by aging neighbors. Each revelation draws Rose closer to understanding the courage it takes to love without guarantees. Amid dusty attics and storm-lashed windows, she discovers that healing often arrives in unexpected forms, and that hope can flourish even in the most windswept places.

A Love Worth Saving

By the time the cottage stands renewed against the Cornish sky, Rose and Michael have built something far more durable than stone walls—a bond forged through shared vulnerability and newfound trust. In rescuing her grandmother’s home, Rose rediscovers her own capacity for forgiveness and commitment, learning that every heart deserves a second chance. Rescuing Rose is a tender exploration of inheritance, identity, and the transformative power of love. . Author’s description.
