Shellseeker Beach Series

When Eliza Whitney loses both her beloved husband and her high-powered job in the same month, she’s uncertain what the next chapter of her life will look like. At 53, she’s too young to retire and too old to start over. Then her estranged father’s widow contacts her and asks her to come to Sanibel Island to help settle his affairs. Eliza sees the trip to a place called Shellseeker Beach as a distraction from her loss and maybe a way to get some closure on the difficult relationship she'd had with her father.

The group of close family and friends are determined to settle the ownership of the beachfront property once and for all. But it seems there are forces outside of their control determined to shatter all their dreams. As she takes time to reconsider her career, Eliza’s daughter finds herself in the middle of conflicting feelings for two very different men. Balancing what she wants with what she needs, this shrewd businesswoman discovers that sometimes the best decisions are made with the heart, and not the head.

With the ownership of the property settled, Eliza knows that she’s found the place where she belongs. But she can’t take a chance on something completely new until she finally lets go of the grief that has gripped her heart, and saying that last goodbye is one of the hardest things she’s ever had to do. Her sister, Claire, is tackling her own emotional challenges. While her lifelong fantasy for a reunion has finally happened, it comes with a cost. She must face the choices of her past, and fight for a love she never thought she could have…and still could lose at any minute.

Eliza navigates the possibility of a second-chance romance, but an unexpected fear is slowing things down. Her daughter has decided she is all in with a man she once thought was all wrong, but efforts to help him out of a bind threaten to backfire. And when Katie finally opens her heart to the first true love of her life, her stepsister’s arrival suddenly changes everything.

With some of the strongest relationships in Shellseeker Beach facing daunting challenges, the family must come together like never before. Budding romances are tested by unexpected arrivals, and major decisions threaten to bring upheaval instead of peace on the beach. Like the tides that bring a bounty of shells every morning and night, change is the only constant…and love is the foundation that holds this found family firmly on the sands of the place they call home.

Dane deeply disapproves of his mother’s relationship with a new man, causing friction in Eliza’s happy life. In addition, he must navigate a whole new life and find a way to channel his emotions in to music. Support comes from the most unexpected corner, surprising everyone…including Dane. Olivia and Deeley’s newfound joy might be coming to an end when they face a startling threat to their makeshift family. The solution to their problem might not be what they imagined, but it could mean a joyous sunset at the end of the day…if everyone once again unites to overcome adversity.
