Eleanor Bradshaw never thought she’d be starting life over in her mid-forties. But when her husband announces on their anniversary that she’s become too “boring” and “unadventurous” for him and that he wants a divorce, that’s exactly where she finds herself. Heartbroken and unsure of what comes next, Eleanor makes an impulsive decision. Determined to prove to herself that she’s still capable of change and courage, she buys an old house in a charming seaside town called Magnolia Shore, with plans to renovate it and make it feel like home. But this particular fresh start turns out to be harder than she expected. The house is in far worse shape than she realized, and as Eleanor struggles to learn the finer points of home repair, she keeps running into the grumpy hardware store owner, Garrett Wilder. For his part, Garrett insists he has no interest in the intriguing newcomer to town. But if that’s true, why does he keep showing up to help with the trickier projects and finding excuses to stick around? As Eleanor begins to rebuild her life on her own terms and tentatively acknowledges the butterflies Garrett stirs in her, she also forms unexpected friendships with a group of women in Magnolia Shore. When they decide to start a book club together, the warmth, support, and laughter Eleanor finds among them gives her the confidence to fully embrace this new chapter of her life…. …and to believe that her second act might be even better than the first. Lose yourself in the soft waves and blue skies of Magnolia Shore, a small fictional town nestled along the Massachusetts coastline. This hopeful and heartfelt women’s fiction story celebrates fresh starts, found family, and the connections that make life richer and more meaningful. less

Between work, navigating Benjamin’s new diagnosis, book club, and singing at open mic nights, she barely has a second to breathe… let alone think about love. Then a handsome stranger compliments her singing after a show one night, and that single moment upends the carefully managed chaos of her life. It isn’t until after she impulsively offers him singing lessons that she realizes the mysterious newcomer to Magnolia Shore is none other than Levi Hawkins, a well-known country singer who rose to fame with his soulful voice and heartfelt lyrics. Despite her flustered annoyance that he let her believe he was just a regular guy, she soon finds herself connecting with Levi in a way that catches her completely off guard. In quiet moments, he doesn’t seem larger than life at all—but she can’t forget how different their worlds are.
