Second chances...and the secrets that sabotage them.

At 48 years old, Margie Clifton never expected to be starting her life all over again. But when her brother gifts her a property on San Juan Island, that’s exactly what she decides to do. After all, it’s the perfect place to start a new business venture, provide a second home for her adult children, and recover from her nasty divorce. And if her new life happens to involve the town’s gruff and ruggedly handsome Chief Deputy Sheriff? All the better.

The last thing Hank Kowalski wants is an emotional entanglement. It’s only been two years since his beloved wife passed, and there’s no way his daughter is ready to accept him dating anyone new. Still, there’s something about Margie’s quiet strength and beauty that draws him in, making him wonder if maybe a fresh start—and possibly a new love—is exactly what he needs in his life.

But Margie is harboring a secret—a dark one that threatens to destroy the new life she’s worked so hard to build. Can Margie and Hank find the courage and faith to overcome all that stands between them? Or will their second chance at happily ever after be lost forever?

Giggles and Tears

I loved this book. Plain and simple. The characters were down to earth and real. The story was believable and the perfect pace to keep you reading. I wanted to slap Brandon and hug Morgan. I cheered for Hank and Margie, and I especially loved the proposal scene at the end. It made me giggle and cry at the same time. I love that this story was not marred by smut and filthy language.Keep up the wonderful work, Amelia.From your newest fan...

Saltwater Cove

This is probably more of a YA book. Very clean reading. It was a little stilted in the character dialog, but still a sweet story. Hank never did apologize to Margie after giving her the cold shoulder, however, she kept thinking she'd done something instead of something possibly happened to Hank.
