BEACH RENTAL
On the Crystal Coast of North Carolina, in the small town of Emerald Isle…
Juli Cooke, hard-working and getting nowhere fast, marries a dying man, Ben Bradshaw, for a financial settlement, not expecting he will set her on a journey of hope and love. The journey brings her to Luke Winters, a local art dealer, but Luke resents the woman who married his sick friend and warns her not to hurt Ben—and he’s watching to make sure she doesn’t.
Until Ben dies and the stakes change.
Framed by the timelessness of the Atlantic Ocean and the brilliant blue of the beach sky, Juli struggles against her past, the opposition of Ben’s and Luke’s families, and even the living reminder of her marriage—to build a future with hope and perhaps to find the love of her life—if she can survive the danger from her past.

Her uncle’s oceanfront home, Captain’s Walk, is a great place to hide from her troubles. But Frannie doesn’t realize that winter is short in Emerald Isle and the beauty of the ocean and seashore can help heal anyone’s heart, especially when her uncle’s handyman is the handsome Brian Donovan.
Frannie wants to move forward with her life. To do that she needs questions answered. With the right information there’s a good chance she’ll will be able to affect not only a change in her life, but also a change of heart.

Along the Outer Banks of North Carolina and the Crystal Coast ~ from the Front Street Gallery in Beaufort, NC, to the beaches of Emerald Isle and across Bogue Sound to Morehead City.…
Maia Donovan watched her friends find true love, and dreamed of her own happily-ever-after, but wishes and reality don’t always match up.
Maia doesn’t realize the biggest obstacle to her happily-ever-after may be herself, and the memories she’s hiding in her heart—that part of her heart that still belongs to her first true love. If Maia can’t resolve her fears and give up those old feelings, then finding her happily-ever-after may become an impossible dream.
