Returning to Romance

By Jennifer Shirk

Saving her family's beloved seaside resort was never going to be easy-but falling for the man who could ruin everything wasn't part of the plan.

Kalinda Wingate is pouring her heart into restoring the Sunshine Sisters Resort, determined to protect the legacy her parents left behind. With renovations stretching her budget, guests dwindling, and the future hanging by a thread, one thing could change everything: a glowing review from the elusive travel critic known only as The Secret Sightseer.

When rumors spread that the mysterious reviewer may be headed to town, Kalinda is determined to make every moment perfect. What she doesn't know is that the critic is already closer than she thinks.

Clarke Cantor only planned to stay long enough for his sister's wedding. Instead, he finds himself face-to-face with Kalinda-his first love, the woman he never forgot, and the one person who can never discover the secret he's keeping. As wedding festivities, quirky mishaps, and the charm of their coastal hometown pull them back together, the sparks between them are impossible to ignore.

But with old wounds still lingering and a life-changing secret standing between them, Kalinda and Clarke must decide whether love deserves a second chance-or if some mistakes are too painful to forgive.

A heartwarming small-town romance filled with second chances, hidden identities, family bonds, and all the cozy seaside charm readers love.
