California Sunset

By Casey Dawes

She's been fired. He's bought a bookstore. There's no room for romance, but a flare of hope lights up when they meet.

Annie Gerhard had her life figured out. The single mom has a steady job and her teenage son is almost through the hard part. Then her company hands her a layoff notice instead of the bonus she was counting on. With no plan and fewer options than she'd like, Annie spends time in the local bookshop overlooking the coast.

John Johnson lost his wife to cancer three years ago. He's left his home state of Montana and relocates to California's Central Coast where he buys a bookstore. It's the first time he's owned a business, and he has no time for a local woman with a great laugh.
Neither of them is looking for a second chance at love. Both of them might need it anyway.

California Sunset is a slow-burn, open-door small-town romance about starting over when you least expect to. If you like characters with emotional depth and small settings, then you'll quickly become absorbed in Casey Dawes' second chance love story.

Escape to the California Coast and fall in love with second chances.
