Saltwater Cove (Westcott Bay Novel, Book 1) by Amelia Addler
Margie Clifton, at 48, unexpectedly finds herself starting anew on San Juan Island, gifted a property by her brother. Determined to make the most of this fresh start, Margie plans to launch a new business, offer a haven for her grown children, and heal from a painful divorce. Unexpectedly, her path crosses with Hank Kowalski, the town's Chief Deputy Sheriff, whose rugged charm and solid presence draw her in.
Hank, still grieving his wife's passing two years prior, is wary of emotional attachments, especially with his daughter still struggling with the loss. Despite his reservations, he finds himself attracted to Margie's quiet strength and beauty, wondering if perhaps a new beginning, and possibly a new love, are what he needs.
However, Margie carries a secret that could shatter the fragile hope she and Hank are building. As they navigate their feelings and the challenges of their pasts, they must find the courage to face their demons and forge a path forward together. Will their budding romance withstand the trials ahead, or will their chance for happiness slip away? "Second Chances" is a story of love, resilience, and the power of redemption, reminding us that it's never too late to start over and find joy.
