About this series
When their father’s death leaves them impoverished, Sarah Summers and her genteel sisters fear they will be forced to sell the house and separate to earn livelihoods as governesses or companions. Determined to stay together, Sarah convinces them to open their seaside home
to guests to make ends meet and provide for their ailing mother. Instead of the elderly invalids they expect to receive, however, they find themselves hosting eligible gentlemen. Sarah is soon torn between a growing attraction to a mysterious Scottish widower and duty to her family.
Viola Summers wears a veil to cover her scar. When forced to choose between helping in her family’s new guest house and earning money to hire a maid to do her share, she chooses the latter. She reluctantly agrees to read to some of Sidmouth’s many invalids, preferring the company of a few elders with failing
eyesight to the fashionable guests staying in their home. But when her first client turns out to be a wounded officer in his thirties, Viola soon wishes she had chosen differently. Her new situation exposes her scars—both visible and those hidden deep within—and her cloistered heart will never be the same.
Join the Summers sisters on the Devonshire coast, where they discover the power of friendship, loyalty, love, and new beginnings.

A la muerte de su padre, Sarah Summers y sus hermanas quedan sumidas en la pena… y la pobreza. Con el fin de ayudar a su madre enferma, Sarah convence a sus hermanas de abrir a huéspedes la casa que tienen junto al mar. Emily y Georgiana están de acuerdo, pero no Viola, que tiene que llevar un velo para ocultar una cicatriz que tiene en la cara. Cuando se embarcan en el proyecto, no esperan recibir otros visitantes que ancianos o convalecientes, pero no, también las visitan caballeros que están de buen ver. Cuando llega un misterioso viudo escocés al hotel, Sarah se verá tremendamente atraída por él. Pero ahí sigue Viola, que no solo tiene cicatrices en la cara, sino también en el alma. ¿Qué sucederá entre las hermanas? ¿Superarán las rencillas y conocerán el amor?
- A Winter by the Sea

Royalty comes to Sidmouth, bringing unexpected danger and the sweet possibility of romance … When the Duke and Duchess of Kent and their daughter—the future Queen Victoria—rent neighboring Woolbrook Cottage for the winter, the Summers sisters are called upon to host three of the royal family’s male staff in their seaside house. But they soon realize they’ve invited secrets and intrigue into their home. Meanwhile, Emily Summers longs to become an author. A local publisher offers to consider her novel if she will first write a Sidmouth guidebook for him. Emily agrees and begins researching the area with help from the Duke of Kent’s handsome private secretary. But a surprise visitor from her past shows up at Sea View, leaving Emily torn between the desires she’s long held dear and her budding dreams for the future. Return to the Devonshire coast with the Summers sisters, where loyalties are tested, secrets come to light, and new love emerges.
