Sandcastle Cove

After a devastating incident ended my dance career at twenty, I uprooted my life to teach at a studio for beginners in Sandcastle Cove. I find solace in building my dream home next to my parent's vacation house on the island. But my plans aren't met with enthusiasm by their neighbor across the street, who seems perpetually annoyed by my presence. The sexy contractor lives alone in his seaside mansion, and despite his grumpy nature, I can't help but feel drawn to him like a moth to a flame. Our unlikely connection isn't something either of us expected, but it's something neither of us can deny.

Excited to return to Sandcastle Cove as maid of honor for my best friend Avie's wedding, I'm ready for sun, surf, and celebration. That is until I learn I'll be sharing a beach cabana with the sexy-as-sin but uptight Naval officer, Lennon Harraway-the groom's older brother and best man. With his strict, by-the-book personality, Lennon and I are complete opposites. He likes to play by the rules, and I like to break them all. Sparks fly, and tensions rise, but as the days unfold, so does an undeniable attraction. Caught between fiery clashes and off-the-chart chemistry, we must navigate our differences and work together to ensure the wedding goes off without a hitch while discovering opposites really do attract.

They say time heals all wounds, but some cut too deep-or so I thought. I've built a life I love and am proud of in Sandcastle Cove, running the bar, keeping things simple, and enjoying my single life. I don't need anyone, especially not Parker-the boy who shattered my heart and left me to pick up the pieces after we lost everything. Then he walks back into town. But he's no longer that scared, reckless seventeen-year-old; now he's a man-steady, confident, and determined to make amends. He says he's here to stay and ready to fight for us. But what does he expect? That I'll just hand him my heart again? Forgiving him feels impossible. Trusting him? Even harder. Yet every time our eyes meet, it reminds me of what we once had, and my walls crack a little more, making me wonder if it's worth risking my heart again.

Life is full of surprises. The best of which is the precocious curly-haired little girl that calls me mommy. As my marriage falls apart, a new opportunity on the serene shores of Sandcastle Cove offers us a safe haven, and our lives take an unforeseen turn when a man from a long-buried Hawaiian escapade resurfaces. I had all but forgotten about the man with a sexy grin until his soulful eyes found mine across the crowd. As I navigate this new life, the complexities of single parenthood, and rekindle old flames, the island becomes the perfect backdrop for a journey of rediscovery, love, and the delicate dance of second chances. The past whispers its secrets, and I have to decide whether to run back to the familiar or chart a new course on the sands of Sandcastle Cove.
