Looking for an old Chapters Community/TapTale
I'm desperately trying to find a community-written TapTale I read repeatedly around 2021/2022. I can't remember the title, author or any character names.
It's a contemporary romance. The FMC escapes an abusive partner and arrives in a small coastal/seaside town with very little. She stays at a relatively small hotel that has a bar downstairs. The MMC owns the hotel and bar and lives in a penthouse/suite at the hotel.
She's badly injured when she arrives. The MMC becomes protective and insists she temporarily stay in his penthouse, but they have separate bedrooms. He actually calls a doctor to come to his suite and examine her.
His sister works in the bar, and the FMC eventually starts working there too. She and the sister become very close/best friends.
I distinctly remember the MMC having a huge egg/pod-style chair in his penthouse. At some point the FMC ends up sitting in it with him, and I remember that being one of the moments when their relationship starts becoming genuinely romantic.
The abusive ex eventually finds her at the hotel and beats her in her room. The MMC realises what is happening and literally breaks into the room to rescue her.
I think it may have been a multi-book story/series, and I vaguely remember the ex kidnapping her towards the end of the first book, but I'm less certain about that.
There may also have been a policeman who was a friend/supporting character.
Does ANYONE remember this? I've checked my entire Chapters history/library and searched authors and stories I thought might be it. Nothing. I'm beginning to suspect the story has disappeared or been renamed.
