When life falls apart, sometimes the best remedy is ocean air, unlikely friendships, and a chance at love you never saw coming.
Julie Pike's life imploded when her husband of twenty years left her for another woman. Now she's starting over in the charming coastal town of Seagrove, determined to rebuild her life on her own terms.
What she doesn't expect is to find herself partnering with Dixie, the spitfire owner of a quaint bookstore who's secretly battling her own health challenges. Or to feel her heart flutter whenever Dawson Lancaster, the handsome island contractor with his own painful past, walks through her door.
As Julie navigates her new normal—a sister seeking redemption, a daughter making life-changing decisions, and a community that quickly becomes family—she discovers that second chances aren't just possible, they're waiting around every corner.
But when Dixie's estranged son returns after a ten-year absence, old wounds resurface that threaten the fragile happiness Julie has found. Can she trust her heart again when she's still healing from betrayal? And is the connection she feels with Dawson strong enough to risk everything for?
A heartwarming story of fresh starts, found family, and the courage to love again, perfect for fans of feel-good women's fiction and small-town romance.
