Second Chance Shores: Three Complete Series
Amy Rafferty
After a devastating divorce and the loss of her family’s historic hotel, almost-sixty Jess Bryant is ready to disappear—until a crumbling seaside inn on Anna Maria Island offers one last shot at starting over.
With her twin sister by her side and a brooding handyman who seems tied to the inn’s shadowy past, Jess begins rebuilding what’s broken. But the island has secrets—and Jess is at the center of them. Dreams that don’t feel like dreams. A love story lost to time. And the ghost of Rose Holt, the inn’s former owner, whispering through the walls.
What starts as a renovation becomes a journey of healing, hope, and heart—where every sand dollar holds a wish, and every broken thing has the power to be made new.
If you love later-in-life heroines, coastal settings, cozy mysteries with a hint of magic, and clean second-chance romance, you’ll fall in love with The Sand Dollar Sisters.
The Honey
She came home to heal. She didn’t expect to uncover a mystery—or fall for the man she couldn’t stand. 65-year-old, Dr. Melissa Moore returns to Cocoa Beach craving peace. A place to paint. To breathe. To be alone with her memories.
Instead, she finds the Honey House—her late aunt’s tiny seaside cottage—hiding more than just dust and forgotten photographs.
A secret in a hidden compartment. A missing woman. A name from the past whispered through old letters… Margaret.
Melissa never knew her father and aunt's younger sister. She certainly didn’t know that sister disappeared without a trace in 1948.
Then Fuzz barrels in—a slobbery St. Bernard with zero boundaries—and crashes into her heart. Right behind him? Police Captain Travis Hanson. Grumpy. Blunt. Far too handsome for her peace of mind.
Their first meeting is a disaster. Their second? Not much better.
But as the mystery deepens and memories resurface, Melissa finds herself drawn to the one man who challenges her grief—and awakens something she thought was long gone.
Can uncovering the truth heal more than just the past? Can love really return when you least expect it?
Lost Love She came to heal. He came to hide. But Sunset Keys has a legend—once love finds you, it never lets go.
After a devastating betrayal and a brush with death, 60-year-old retired police captain Carrie Ware needs more than just sunshine—she needs to feel alive again. Swapping her fast-paced city life for a quiet summer in the charming coastal town of Lost Love Cove, she expects silence, solitude... maybe a sea breeze or two.
What she doesn't expect? Matt Parker—her 65 year old grumpy, tool-belted next-door neighbor who's just as broken as she is.
A widowed handyman with zero interest in love, Matt's focused on one rebuilding his late wife's home. But when a property dispute uncovers long-buried secrets and puts Carrie in the crosshairs, his protective instincts—and his heart—kick into overdrive.
As sparks fly and danger brews, can two wounded souls risk everything for a second chance at love?
