"[Thayne] engages the reader's heart and emotions, inspiring hope and
the belief that miracles are possible." --Debbie Macomber, #1 New
York Times bestselling author
For fans of Debbie Macomber and Susan Wiggs, an emotional story of
starting over and reclaiming happiness.
When Meredith Collins was a child, the little beach town of Cape
Sanctuary lived up to its name. Spending summers there with her
grandmother, Meredith finally felt safe and loved.
Now she's returning in disgrace. Her late ex-husband swindled investors
out of millions of dollars and made Meredith a figure of scorn--though
she knew nothing about his scheme. But she still has the beach cottage
she inherited from her grandmother and half ownership of the local café.
It's a place to work and earn a little money. That's if her cousin,
Tori, will let her through the door. Once, Tori and Meredith were as
close as sisters--until Meredith chose her neglectful parents'
expectations over their bond. Now widowed with a teenage daughter, Tori
isn't setting out a welcome mat for the woman who let her down so
badly.
While Meredith tries to make a fresh start, she is drawn to a mysterious
writer renting the cottage next door. Liam Byrne's kindness is a balm,
though she worries he might not be so friendly if he knew who she was.
But Liam has his own secret and a mission that will help Meredith
confront her past--and maybe, claim a surprising future...
