Description

A clean and wholesome small-town beach romance about widower and single mom healing, friends-to-more at the Carolina Cove Inn, and slow-burn, closed-door (only-kisses) chemistry. Expect themes of grief to hope, found family, and second chances during sunny days and breezy coastal nights—all leading to a guaranteed HEA. Perfect for readers who love vacation rules vs. real feelings, tourist-local tension, and heartfelt, feel-good summer romance.

Widower Dominic Dunn isn’t sure what to think of his wife’s pre-planned trip for him a year after her death. It’s her effort to force him from his work desk to the coast and the peacefulness she’d found at the Carolina Cove Inn.

Innkeeper Ireland Cohen is a single mom with an impressionable son, and after the kid gets himself into trouble, Dominic offers to lend a hand. It’s the least he can do when Ireland was such a good friend to his wife after her diagnosis. 

As the hot summer days at the beach turn into breezy evenings, Ireland and Dominic find their shared memories and friendship turning into more. They’re drawn to each other, fighting an attraction neither of them want because of their pasts.

He’s only visiting, and Ireland has a strict rule about dating tourists. But as his trip draws to a close, they both wonder—is this their last goodbye?

    This is the first book I’ve read by Kay Lyons and I loved her writing. I’m looking forward to reading more of her books. Widower Dominic Dunn comes to the Carolina Cove Inn a year after his wife, Lisa’s death. She left him a letter and wanted him to visit the place that brought her happiness, after her diagnosis. Ireland Cohen, single mom to Samuel, is the manager of the Inn. Samuel misses a male role model in his life, since his dad has a new family and doesn’t have time for him anymore. Dominic fills this role while he’s there. When Dominic starts to have romantic feelings towards Ireland, he feels guilty. Will he give them a chance to see where these feelings go or will he hightail it back to Atlanta and immerse himself in more work? No spoilers, so grab your copy of this new series and meet all the Cohen sisters so you can look forward to reading each of their stories too. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
