Description

Seeking a fresh start for herself and her five-year-old daughter, weary single mom Melissa returns to her coastal hometown for a sabbatical. Her plans for a quiet retreat are quickly upended when she reunites with Luke, her brother’s best friend and her oldest unrequited crush. As they navigate the complexities of their current lives and Luke's crumbling relationship, they both begin to realize that their past hardships might have been leading them toward one another all along. You will love this story if you enjoy the brother’s best friend and second-chance tropes wrapped in a cozy, small-town setting. It’s a heartfelt and grounded read perfect for those who appreciate the clean and wholesome category, focusing on emotional intimacy, family bonds, and the relatable journey of starting over. If you're looking for a sweet, closed-door romance that highlights the beauty of finding love again after betrayal, this beachside tale is a perfect fit.
