A Beach Small Town Contemporary Clean Romance
with Family Drama by the author of The Wedding Dress
REBECCA'S REVIEW:
" . . . go to Sea Blue Beach. Maybe you'll find something there you left behind."
In between jobs and battling complicated blended family dynamics, journalist Emery Quinn takes a job as editor-in-chief of small local newspaper in the town where she spent the happiest summer of her life. She even rents a room at the Sands Motor Motel where she and her parents lodged for their extended vacation. Sea Blue Beach; still much the same in many ways and entirely different in others. However, the biggest surprise is that Caleb Ransom is also back in town working as a local architect.
After a brief catch-up, Emery and Caleb find themselves embroiled in local disagreements about the future of Sea Blue Beach. Past rivalries have grown into two extremely different visions for the lovely beach town, threatening to destroy its historic local lore. At the heart of the matter for Emery is her reunion with Caleb, could what they began so many years prior as young teens mature into something altogether permanent? Fear is a formidable foe.
A pleasant pace pervades the pages of this first love, summer love story!
