At nineteen, Hattie Landers is out of options and running low on hope. When a series of opportunities lands her on a boat off the coast of Seward, she’s thrust into the rough-and-tumble world of commercial fishing—and into the path of Mack Nichols, a guarded deckhand with a chip on his shoulder and secrets of his own.
Living and working shoulder-to-shoulder with Mack and his father Rory, Hattie begins to carve out a new life—one filled with hard work, deep friendships, and a slow-burning connection she never expected. But when tragedy strikes and loyalty is tested, Hattie must choose between protecting her heart and fighting for the family she’s never had and always sought.
But a return to the place she once called home forces her to confront everything she left behind… including the man who still holds her heart.
Set against the breathtaking Alaskan wilderness, Hattie’s Home is a moving tale of resilience, found family, and the kind of love that’s worth the wait.
Start here and fall in love with the unforgettable characters of the Thunder Bay Seiner Series—where every tide brings a second chance.
MM Travis has lived and worked in Anchorage and Seward, Alaska. She loves exploring the state and has done so on foot, and via vehicles, campers, kayak, seiner, ferry, and several sized aircraft, from Galbraith Lake above the arctic circle to the southeast panhandle, and from Kodiak to McCarthy and Tok.
A lover of all things salmon, she advocates for their protection and enjoys harvesting them. She’s caught salmon by hook, dipnet, fishwheel, seine net (and once by hand) from the Copper River, Gulkana, Kenai River, Prince William Sound, and the Outer District of the North Gulf Coast of Alaska.
She is the author of over twenty books, from non-fiction to romance, and has collaborated with Max Travis on a commercial fishing family saga based in Alaska. She loves writing contemporary romance with happy endings, often with second chance, small town, and ‘fish out of water’ tropes.
