Adele has been writing love stories since she was a teenager hiding paperbacks under the bed. Her novels are set in a coastal town called Bellamy, and they are warm, specific, and unwilling to end on a shrug. She hopes you will fall for the couple and then stay for the town, the way she did when she first imagined the harbor. Readers write to say they come back for the bakery, the weather, and the people who keep choosing each other.
