Books St. Michaels Harbor By Hannah Westley

St. Michaels Harbor by Hannah Westley is a historical romance set in 1813 in St. Michaels, Maryland. The story follows Hope, a young woman grieving the loss of her family to typhoid, whose father owns a thriving shipyard. Hope is pursued by Simon, a cruel suitor intent on marrying her to take over the shipyard, but she resists him. Instead, she forms a deep, soul-connecting bond with Jacob, a Piscataway-English worker hired at the shipyard. Jacob performs an ancient Native American ritual binding their souls to always return to each other, even across lifetimes. Amidst the backdrop of the War of 1812 and local threats, including a British attack, the novel explores themes of love, racial barriers, loyalty, and resilience. Historical details enrich the vivid setting, while the tension builds around whether Simon’s schemes will succeed and if Hope and Jacob’s love can transcend their circumstances
