About this series
South Carolina Sunsets is Rachel Hanna's flagship clean women's fiction and beach romance series, set in the fictional Lowcountry coastal town of Seagrove, South Carolina. Across 13 books, the series follows Julie, a 43-year-old woman who starts over after her husband leaves her for another woman, and the multigenerational found family she builds in a small Southern beach town.
The series begins with The Beach House, where Julie buys an old beach house and slowly rebuilds her life around her estranged sister and mother, her two grown daughters, and the new community she didn't know she needed. As the series unfolds across more than 250,000 reader reviews and millions of copies sold, it becomes a sweeping multigenerational story about second chances, family bonds, and the kind of small-town community where everyone shows up when it matters.
All 13 books are at the Just Kisses heat level: warm, romantic, and free of explicit content. The series should be read in order, since family relationships and storylines build across books. New books in the series release regularly.

"Rachel Hanna did a phenomenal job with The Beach House! I was captivated from the very beginning. A true testament of a woman in her early 40’s being forced to start over and deciding to live her dream. The book brings out sheer determination and fortitude to forge ahead into the unknown of the next chapter of her life. This is a must read!"
