A letter. A phone call. And just like that, Nellie’s life will never be the same.
Reeling from heartbreak, Nellie never expected to inherit everything from her beloved Aunt Lil—the charming beach house, the quirky poodle, and a one-way ticket back to Muddleford, the seaside town she hasn’t seen in twenty years.
As she steps onto the golden sands of her childhood, memories come rushing back: the salty breeze, the laughter, and a stolen kiss with a boy named Jack. Now, Jack is still in town—only he’s all grown up. A devilishly handsome vet with every pet owner (and Nellie) swooning over him. The sparks are undeniable, but just as Nellie dares to believe in love again, she uncovers a secret about Jack that could shatter everything.
With her heart on the line and the past refusing to stay buried, Nellie faces an impossible choice: walk away from Muddleford forever or risk it all for a future she never imagined.
A heartwarming and uplifting summer read about love, second chances, and finding a home where you least expect it—perfect for fans of Carole Matthews, Nicola May, and Milly Johnson.
