A public betrayal sent her life crashing down around her… until an unexpected phone call gives her a reason to start again.

After a humiliating end to her marriage, Eva Hopkins threw herself into the job she loved. Now, she’s on the brink of a life-changing promotion, the culmination of everything she’s worked so hard to achieve.

At least, that was the plan. In reality, she’s about to get humiliated for a second time, and the person behind it all might be a little too familiar. Now reeling from yet another betrayal, Eva receives a phone call that sends her home to the beach town she left years ago—and it doesn’t take long for her to realize that life by the sea isn’t always as peaceful as it seems. While trying to pick up the pieces of her own broken life, she also has to contend with a stubborn father who refuses help at every turn, a grown daughter harboring secrets of her own, and two sisters whose personal lives seem to be falling apart.

Not to mention the mystery surrounding what really happened to her parents’ marriage all those years ago.

Eva might be on island time, but this summer has more in store for her than sunshine and sea breezes. Escape to the glittering beaches of Mermaid Bay in this romantic women’s fiction series about sisterhood, friendships and found family, new beginnings, and the kind of people who make you feel like you belong.
