Unlock the door to the beach house...a place where life slows down,
people come together, and love is the strongest force of all.
After you've given your baby to strangers, what do you say when someone
asks if you have children?
Fourteen years ago, Melinda Campbell was fifteen and a half, pregnant
and terrified. Desperate to protect her baby from a malicious
grandfather and needed at home to take care of her own critically ill
father, Melinda makes the most generous, heart-wrenching choice of all:
adoption. Now she's living the successful life her father struggled to
give her, but missing her daughter with a longing that shadows every
joy.
Jeremy Richmond knows the beach house the way a painter knows his
canvas, intimately and focused on detail. His life revolves around his
adopted daughter, Shiloh, the girl who's owned his heart from the moment
he first held her as an infant. They were a picture-perfect family until
Shiloh was diagnosed with pediatric lupus and Jeremy's wife walked
away.
When Shiloh tells her father she's tired of fighting her illness and
wants to meet her biological mother before it's too late, Jeremy agrees
to find a woman he has no desire to meet.
From the moment Melinda and Jeremy come face-to-face, they realize their
worlds will never be the same. Will the beach house that has harbored
troubled hearts for decades prove to be the balm they need to heal...?
