Shattered Shoreline (Seashore Cove #2)

When PR executive Riley Mitchell's career implodes, she flees to the last place she ever wanted to return—her hometown of Seashore Cove. Twelve years away hasn't healed the wounds that drove her from the Oregon coast, but a reservation at the charming Sandpiper Inn seems like the perfect place to hide while she figures out her next move.

Lucas Gray has spent two years rebuilding his life after losing everything in Boston. Running a quiet coastal inn suits a man determined never to care about anyone again. But when a green-eyed guest arrives with secrets as deep as his own, Lucas finds his carefully constructed walls beginning to crumble.

Just as Riley begins to believe in second chances, her past catches up with her in the form of international criminals who'll stop at nothing to silence her. When an explosion leaves Riley fighting for her life and Lucas consumed with guilt over his failure to protect her, he abandons her bedside to hunt down those responsible—choosing vengeance over the woman who needs him most.

Now Riley must learn to navigate a world forever changed while Lucas discovers that some enemies can't be defeated with justice alone. If they're going to find their way back to each other, Lucas must prove that love means showing up for the hard days, and Riley must decide if a man who runs from his fears is worth fighting for.

In Seashore Cove, broken hearts can find healing—but only if they're brave enough to choose love over fear.
