Cape May (Brighton)

Six women. Four years. One final destination. Join this Love Actually-inspired ensemble cast as they seek their own unique versions of happily ever after at the end of the Jersey Cape. Delaney never liked surprises until a DNA test proves that even the most shocking discoveries can result in surprisingly joyful outcomes. Thrust into a competition she didn't sign up for, Marley learns that winning isn't everything after an ultimate act of paying it forward leads to something far more valuable. One simple letter changes Cleo's entire life, making the impossible possible-if only she can get out of her own way and open her heart to happiness. When Charlotte finally realizes she can't control the direction of the wind, she adjusts her sails and reaches a destination beyond her wildest imagination. Fans of The Way to Cape May and A Cape May Kind of Love, as well as new readers alike, will delight in cheering on the women as they reach their final destination and answer the question: is Exit 0 the end of the road...or just the beginning?

Where choice meets chance, there lies happily ever after... A bride, her Groomzilla, and their guests travel along the southern Jersey shore, navigating the rocky road to romance as they each seek their own version of happily ever after, Love Actually-style. You're cordially invited to Delaney and Dalton's Cape May wedding...if it happens. Delaney is a successful criminal attorney who leaves nothing to chance. All she wanted was a simple seaside wedding to her childhood sweetheart, Dalton. But as wedding countdown begins, their love is put to the test as a series of events threatens their big day. Even Mother Nature's RSVP of a tempestuous plus-one can't match the turmoil of an unbridled Groomzilla, whose life-altering secret may veer this love story to Happily Never After before they can say, “I Don't”. However, Delaney isn't the only one whose destiny is uncertain. A seashell found in the pocket of an old hoodie forces maid of honor and DC lobbyist Kate to question her choices in life and love. Especially after her ex, who she last saw driving off in a dilapidated VW van, has now been touted in Men's Monthly magazine as America's hottest surfer-preneur and newly minted millionaire. As Kate rides the gnarly waves of regret, an accidental phone switch has her dialed into someone totally new—and completely unexpected. Free-spirited bartender Cleo is “just fine” with the surface-level, friends-with-benefits situation she has with her hot lawyer. But as her roommates move forward with their Adult Life Plans, Cleo decides slinging drinks, while fun, is getting in the way of pursuing her creative talents as an artist. Enter her best friend's plus-one, who challenges her beliefs about her troubled past, and invites her into the scary future—whether she's ready to face it or not. Marley, a law student and intern at Delaney's firm, has but one dream: to become a lawyer and practice criminal law in her beloved hometown of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. But her longtime boyfriend and future fiancé lives in the Midwest and has been turning up the pressure on marriage, for which he is very ready. But Marley doesn't want to leave her hometown, especially now that things are heating up with the one man she can't stop thinking about, and with whom she doesn't stand a chance—her best friend. Set between the courtrooms of Philadelphia and the sparkling beaches of the Jersey Cape, this laugh-out-loud, swoony beach read is all about choice and chance, love and loss, sunsets and cheesesteaks. With familiar romance tropes of friends to lovers, unexpected meet-cutes and opposites attract, you're destined to fall in love with this ensemble cast. You may even find yourself exploring your own beliefs about life, love and destiny. So save the date, grab a drink and get ready to Chicken Dance—you never know what the night, and destiny, may have in store.
