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 . . .
