Chapter 1 begins

One night, everything changes.

“I’m moving out.”

“I know. We both are, sweetie. To our new beach house. Everything will be wonderful there.”

“No. Julie, you’re not listening. I’m… leaving you.”

That’s how Julie’s twenty-one-year marriage ends. Her husband has a second family in Boston, a six-month-old son she never knew about, and the beach house she dreamed of is gone. So she buys a little cottage in Seagrove and starts over.

Is this you?

This book is for you if…

You had to start over later than you ever planned.

You're tired of books where every heroine is twenty-five.

You want a clean story you don't have to screen first.

You want somewhere calm to land when the news gets loud.

You keep the books you love, and you want them to look pretty on the shelf.

You're looking for a gift for your mom, your sister or your best friend that feels personal.

Then you're going to love Julie.
Welcome to Seagrove

Julie is 43, and her life just fell apart.

She had twenty-one years of marriage, two daughters and a plan. She and her husband were about to move into a beach house of their own.

Then he came home one night and told her about the other woman, and the son Julie never knew existed. He had a whole second family.

So Julie does something she's never done before. She buys a little cottage on an island in the South Carolina Lowcountry, where strangers wave from their porches, and she starts over. Her estranged sister comes back into her life. So does her complicated mother. And there's Dawson, a contractor in town, who might turn out to be more than a friend.

If you've ever had to begin again later than you planned, Julie will feel like someone you already know.

Why readers love Seagrove

Written for women like you

A heroine your age, for once

Julie isn't a twenty-something with a city job and a closet full of shoes. She's a mother in her forties with a past, and the people around her are her sister, her mother, her grown daughters and a town full of neighbors.

Clean means clean

You won't find bad language or bedroom scenes anywhere in Seagrove. The romance is Just Kisses, and every book ends happy. It's the kind of book you can pass to your mama when you're done.
