Before Summer Ends

One hidden identity. One beloved seaside inn at risk. And one final summer to decide where she belongs.

Eva Hamilton thought Sunset Cove had given her the fresh start she needed. Her Thursday Suppers are thriving, the Sea Pine Inn feels more like home each day, and Margot has offered her a partnership that could turn her temporary escape into a permanent future.

Then Eva discovers who Lucas Reed, the reserved handyman she was beginning to trust, really is. Now every moment they shared feels tangled in a secret he should have revealed much sooner.

As Eva struggles to protect her heart, divorce papers arrive from the husband who betrayed her, and developers threaten to take the Sea Pine away from the community that loves it. Saving the inn may require Eva to fight for a life she never planned to stay for.

With summer ending, Eva must decide whether Lucas deserves a second chance and whether she s finally brave enough to stop running and claim the home, career, and love waiting for her in Sunset Cove.

A warm coastal story about forgiveness, found family, second chances, and choosing where you truly belong.
