Description
The message was undeniable… Fight for her.
Six months after her divorce, Hope St. Cloud is struggling with her guilt over leaving her daughter’s father. She needs a fresh perspective, and she knows exactly how to find it—by spending the summer at her family’s cottage in Sea Glass Cove. Surrounded by abundant peace and fond childhood memories, Hope and her daughter will be able to find a new rhythm with just the two of them.
Nothing could’ve prepared her for the immediate and tantalizing attraction to local gallery owner Owen McKinney. Or for his instant connection with her shy daughter.
It’s been three years since the accident that stole everything Owen held dear. That’s more than enough time to mourn and move on, but he can’t seem to let go… until Hope and her adorable daughter stroll into his gallery. In them, he finds everything he lost—all the joy and adventure that comes with being a family. But Hope’s divorce is still fresh, and he’s afraid she might’ve made a mistake divorcing her husband.
Then a sign straight from his past makes it clear that Hope and her daughter are his future, and he can’t let them walk away.

5By Sappy Romance readerThis book was beautiful and real! I felt the pain it conjured as I read the details of the lives you presented. I actually felt my heart clench as if it were happening to me and that rarely if ever happens when I read. I read 1-2 books per day usually and have for years so it is a treat to read a book that moves me as this one has. Thank you for the experience!Wonderful read!

5By 1AlannahThis book gives you the sweet romance without the in depth act of sex. There is so much insight into how much both characters were broken but in different ways and how they healed each other.The Abalone Shell
