How Hope Harbor Began
Irene Hannon, a master of both romantic suspense and contemporary romance, launched Hope Harbor with her signature flair for storytelling. Inspired by her love for small-town settings and the redemptive power of love, Hannon introduced readers to this fictional Oregon gem in 2015 with the first book, *Hope Harbor*. A three-time RITA Award winner and Romance Writers of America Hall of Famer, she crafted a series that’s as much about healing as it is about heart-fluttering moments.
What started as a single novel blossomed into a beloved series, thanks to fans who couldn’t get enough of Hannon’s vivid characters and picturesque world. Drawing from her knack for weaving faith, hope, and romance, she built a coastal escape that feels like a warm hug on a rainy day.
The Heart of Hope Harbor
The series kicks off with *Hope Harbor*, where Tracy Campbell returns to her family’s cranberry farm after tragedy, only to find unexpected love with Michael Hunter, a grieving newcomer. Then there’s *Sea Rose Lane*, introducing BJ Stevens, a prickly architect, and Eric Nash, a lawyer seeking a new path—sparks fly as they team up for a senior program. *Sandpiper Cove* brings us Lexie Graham, a police chief juggling single motherhood and small-town crime, alongside ex-con Cody Walsh, both yearning for redemption. And don’t miss *Pelican Point*, where lighthouse restorer Ben Garrison and newspaper editor Marci Weber turn a fixer-upper into a chance at love.
At its core, Hope Harbor is about second chances, forgiveness, and the magic of community. Hannon’s style is light yet poignant, blending Christian faith with universal themes of resilience and connection. The Oregon coast isn’t just a setting—it’s a character, with its salty breezes and rugged cliffs framing every tender moment.
Each book stands alone but builds on the town’s quirky cast—like Charley, the taco-stand philosopher—making Hope Harbor feel like home. Whether it’s a cranberry farm or a lighthouse in need of TLC, Hannon uses these touchstones to ground her tales in hope and heart.
Why Hope Harbor Resonates
Hope Harbor has carved a special niche in contemporary romance, offering readers a refreshing break from high-stakes drama. Fans adore its gentle pace and the way it tackles real-life struggles—grief, betrayal, starting over—with grace and optimism. Hannon’s knack for crafting characters you’d want as neighbors keeps readers coming back, with the series now spanning ten books and counting.
Its lasting appeal lies in its simplicity and sincerity. In a world of chaos, Hope Harbor is a literary lighthouse, guiding readers to a place where love conquers all and hope never fades. It’s no wonder fans dream of booking a trip to this fictional town—just don’t forget the cranberry scones!
