Sea Breeze Cove

Her life is picture perfect . . . until one fateful day changes everything. In the space of a single afternoon, Charlotte Winters's seemingly ideal life falls apart. After being let go from her job at a publishing house, she discovers her boyfriend on a date with another woman. As she reels from their subsequent breakup, she receives the shocking news that her estranged Aunt Jean has passed away. Even more surprising? Charlotte has inherited her aunt's beach house in the small coastal town of Sea Breeze Cove, Massachusetts. At thirty-six years old with no job and no relationship to keep her in Chicago, Charlotte decides she won't sell the house. Instead, she'll move to Sea Breeze Cove, fix the old home up, and get the fresh start she so desperately needs. But life never moves in a straight line, and even fresh starts have a few bumps along the way. As she adapts to life in the cozy beachside town, Charlotte uncovers a buried secret that changes everything she thought she knew about her family. And a handsome newcomer with a mysterious past has her questioning whether she's ready to open up her heart again . . .

Even in a peaceful seaside town, it's not always smooth sailing. Inspired by her love of reading, Charlotte has decided to try her hand at writing a book. She's excited about her new project, but balancing it between her work at the bookstore and spending time with Briggs proves to be a bit of a challenge. Can she find a way to juggle it all? Meanwhile, Elise is thrilled that Bridget has been able to take on more responsibility at the restaurant. She always encouraged her dad to delegate more, and now that she's taken her own advice, she has time to focus on other aspects of her life-like her friendship with Gabe. They've known each other for years, and lately it seems like their relationship could turn into something more. But is she willing to risk losing him as a friend if they try to date and it doesn't work out? Even as she tries to sort out her feelings for her longtime friend, she's shocked by a revelation that she never saw coming. Bridget has been keeping a secret from her. A big one. Charlotte and her friends will have to rely on their bonds with each other more than ever as they face the challenges life throws at them!

As winter arrives in Sea Breeze Cove, not everything is smooth sailing . . . With Briggs' support, Charlotte is stepping into her new role as owner of The Book Nook, and she's thrilled to have enticed well-known author Marissa McGuire to come to the shop as part of her book tour. Unfortunately, Charlotte has no idea that Marissa has a hidden motive for spending time in Sea Breeze Cove-something that might not sit well with the rest of the residents. Sadie is determined to turn her dog walking business into something bigger, but she finds herself a bit distracted by a certain handsome vet. When Ethan offers to help her expand her business, she can't help but wonder if he might have feelings for her too. But as misunderstandings threaten to push them apart, will either of them work up the courage to make a move before it's too late? Meanwhile, Jesse has been behaving strangely, and Addison is worried that he's keeping a secret from her. But what could it be?

She's watched her sister re-invent herself in Sea Breeze Cove. Can she do the same? Nina Winters was a bit skeptical when Charlotte decided to move to the small town of Sea Breeze Cove and refurbish their aunt's old house. But with a fiancé who adores her and a business of her own, Charlotte is clearly flourishing. So Nina decides to visit, hoping to make a fresh start for herself as well. And things start to look up when she catches the attention of both a local doctor and a handsome cop. But everything changes when she starts to realize that rather than the shallow relationships she's had in the past, she wants something real. Can she open up her heart enough to make a true connection? Or will she let fear drive her away from a chance at love?

She's found the man of her dreams. But is she ready to say 'I do'? In the aftermath of Bridget's deception and the boating accident, Charlotte and her friends are all contemplating what's most important to them in life. For Briggs, the answer is easy: Charlotte. But when he pops the big question, she gets cold feet, worried that his brush with death is making him rush into something he's not ready for. Can he convince her that he's ready to move on from the heartbreak of his past and take this next step with her? Meanwhile, Sadie and Ethan hit a rocky patch in their relationship, and Elise struggles with whether to give Bridget a second chance, even as her relationship with Gabe becomes more serious. And as Addison and Jesse welcome a new member to their family, complications bring all of their friends together, reminding them that the most important thing in life is always . . . Love.

Liz Porter made a life-changing decision years ago . . . and now her life is about to change again. Although she came to Sea Breeze Cove for business, Liz's reasons for staying in the cozy seaside town are far more personal. She just discovered that the daughter she gave up for adoption years ago is living Sea Breeze Cove. She's always wished for the chance to get to know her daughter, but she's not sure what to do now that she's found her. Is it better to reveal the truth, or to keep it a secret? For Ethan and Sadie, business is booming and things are going well . . . until Ethan gets some unexpected news that could change everything. Meanwhile, both Charlotte and Elise are planning their nuptials, and with their fiancés on board, they come up with an unconventional idea-a double wedding! But two weddings at once means twice as much planning, so they've got their work cut out for them. Will they be able to pull everything together in time for the big day?

Bridget Clark has been given a second chance . . . but can she truly leave the mistakes of her past behind? With Thanksgiving right around the corner, Bridget has a lot to be grateful for. Elise has re-hired her at Firefly Bistro, and despite her earlier stumbles with love, she's formed a connection with local police officer Timothy Parsons. But just as she's starting to turn over a new leaf, her past collides with her present, threatening to destroy everything. Sadie and Ethan are also working hard to overcome the past, as he moves on from his career-ending injury and focuses on helping her build up her dog walking business. They even approach Addison and Jesse about investing in the business, hoping to bring their friends on board. And Charlotte is shocked when a literary agent expresses interest in her book. It's everything she's been hoping for, but even as she takes one step closer to achieving her dream, doubt starts to set in-especially when the agent seems to have a different vision for the book than she does. It's shaping up to be a busy season in Sea Breeze Cove, with changes, challenges, and surprises all around!
