Description
From the wreckage of a national scandal to the heartbreak of a widow’s hidden secrets, two best friends discover that some confessions lead to love—and others cost too much.
Meaghan Jones is America’s sweetheart—until a Hollywood scandal sends her seeking refuge in a small coastal town at her best friend’s charming beach house on the Delaware shore. She’s sworn off romance, but the magnetic local restaurateur she’s never forgotten keeps testing her resolve—stirring feelings she thought she’d buried forever.
Palmer Harding has the perfect life—until her husband drops dead. No one knows they haven’t spoken in weeks. No one knows she kissed another man just days before. And no one can know the secret she’s carrying now.
As summer unfolds under salt air and starlit skies, friendship, love, and long-buried truths collide. For one unforgettable season, two women will discover that second chances—in love and in life—are worth every risk.
✔️ Second chance romance + romantic women’s fiction with coastal charm
✔️ Perfect for fans of Elin Hilderbrand, Kristy Woodson Harvey, and Susan Mallery
✔️ Includes four delicious recipes from the characters themselves!
BEACH HOUSE CONFESSIONS blends the passion of a summer romance novel with the emotional depth of women’s fiction—perfect for readers who crave love stories set in small towns, with sandy beaches, salty breezes, and the promise of fresh starts.
