A summer by the sea can change everything...

When journalist Meg Adamson is sent to the coastal town of Old Port, Maine, to interview bestselling author Cullen Walsh, she’s forced to confront painful memories—and finds herself swept into the kind of love story she’s only ever written about in her private journal.

Meg is determined to deliver the perfect feature to her demanding editor at a major New York magazine. But being back in this charming New England seaside town means reliving childhood wounds that never fully healed.

As salt-sprayed walks along golden beaches, warm summer nights in Cullen’s book-filled cottage, and starlit conversations on the dock chip away at her defenses, Meg is drawn to his quiet intensity and guarded heart.

When her editor pushes her to expose the tragic family secrets behind Cullen’s success—secrets he’s desperate to protect—Meg faces an impossible choice between her career and the chance at real love.

An emotional contemporary romance perfect for readers seeking the seaside charm of Elin Hilderbrand, Mary Alice Monroe, Carley Fortune, and fans of cozy small-town romances.
