The Man Who Made Her Still (Ellery Cove Book 2)

Morgan Riley does not slow down.

She runs Ellery Cove with a laptop, a calendar, a sharp tongue, and enough force of will to move half the island before breakfast. She plans the festivals, manages the vendors, reads every room she walks into. She does not have time for distractions, especially not the broad-shouldered former ballplayer who walks into her office by mistake and somehow makes the whole room go quiet.

Brady Johnson spent eleven years in the Red Sox organization making other people better. He built pitchers, developed catchers, and earned a World Series ring for work nobody saw. He came to Ellery Cove to help his best friend build something that matters. He did not come here to want something for himself.

She is chaos in a sundress. He is calm in a ball cap.

And from the first conversation, something in her restless heart goes still.

But Morgan has spent years being the woman everyone counts on. The loud one. The fun one. The one who shows up. She’s terrified that the quiet version of herself isn’t someone worth staying for. Brady has spent just as long being the man who makes everyone else’s dream happen, and he’s forgotten he’s allowed to have one of his own.

Falling in love is the easy part. Letting someone see who you really are is the part that breaks you open.

The Man Who Made Her Still is a heartfelt coastal romance about baseball, belonging, second chances, found family, and the man who makes a woman stop running long enough to choose herself.
