A burned-out nurse. A haunted former fire chief. The last thing either of them needed was a spark.
After years of putting everyone else first, ER nurse Teresa Salazar is making a fresh start in a small-town coastal retreat. Quiet mornings. No one else's emergencies. Just her own life, at last.
Retired fire chief Dan Garrison chose Serena Cove to be left alone with his guilt. He's not looking for anything. Especially not love.
But when a neighborhood crisis throws them together, what starts as reluctant friendship becomes something neither of them planned for.
Now Teresa is facing the question she moved here to escape: can she love someone without losing herself again? And Dan must decide if he's willing to let someone break down the walls he's spent years building.
Starting Over in Serena Cove is a slow-burn, closed-door, later-in-life romance and women's fiction for readers over fifty who believe the best love stories offer a second chance.
