Returning to the picturesque coastal town, Joanna is drawn back into the world she left behind. Walking along the sandy stretch of beach below her auntā€™s cottage in Willow Bay, the memories come flooding back of all the dreams she cherished until betrayal and a stormy night at sea tore them apart. When she runs into her first love, Lucas, now a single father, Joanna feels a spark between them once more. Can she dare to rekindle a relationship she thought lost forever?

When pieces of an old shipwreck begin washing ashore, the answer might be made for herā€¦ As the yacht surfaces, bringing Joannaā€™s secrets with it, can she find the courage to trust Lucas with the truth about the night she ran? Or will holding on to the past force her to leave Rivers End behind once againā€¦?

The Secrets of Willow Bay is a captivating tale of second chances, forgiveness, and the enduring power of friendship. Perfect for fans of Barbara Oā€™Neal, Mary Alice Monroe and Debbie Macomber, this emotional journey will have you believing in the magic of new beginnings.
