Just This Heart
by Garrett Leigh
2026
Set in Porth Luck, this follow‑up brings together two men with old wounds and heavy expectations in a town that never stops watching. As they try to protect the people who rely on them, risking their hearts feels reckless, yet holding back may cost them the only love that makes sense.
Just This Once
by Garrett Leigh
2025
Mal, a battle‑scarred soldier passing through a Cornish town, vows not to fall for anyone again. Skylar, the small‑town nurse who fixes everyone but himself, is the exception he cannot resist. What starts as a one‑time mistake becomes a lifeline neither man knew he needed.
Series background & context
Men Of Porth Luck is a newer small‑town series set on the rugged Cornish coast, in a harbour town where everybody knows everybody and the sea is always in the background. The books focus on men who are carrying more pain than they show and the partners who help them unpack it, all against a backdrop of village pubs, stormy weather, and stubborn hope.
Just This Once, the first book, brings together Mal, a broken soldier merely passing through, and Skylar, a local nurse who spends his days patching up everyone else while neglecting his own wounds. Their meeting feels like a mistake from the start, an attraction that both men believe they can keep to "just this once." Of course, it does not stay that simple. As Mal’s time in Porth Luck stretches from days into something longer, they have to decide whether a fling can become a life and what that would cost them both.
The series as a whole promises steamy, gritty romance with a strong hurt/comfort thread. These are not glossy holiday‑postcard stories; they deal with PTSD, burnout, and the quiet desperation that comes from feeling stuck in place. At the same time, Porth Luck itself offers moments of real warmth. Locals look out for each other, even when they grumble about it. Found family forms out of shared chips on the harbour wall, late‑night confessions, and people showing up when it counts.
Later books continue to explore variations on that theme, pairing new arrivals and long‑term residents, soldiers and civilians, caretakers and the people who never expected to be cared for. The tone is emotional and a little rough around the edges, with sex scenes that are as much about comfort and affirmation as they are about heat.
If you are drawn to small‑town romance where the landscape matters and the characters are working through serious issues rather than minor misunderstandings, Men Of Porth Luck offers a grounded, heartfelt escape with the tang of sea air.
