They say opposites attract... but no one said it would be easy.

Colette Dumont built her life on control, order, and achievement. As the recently retired CEO of a multi-million-dollar paper company, she's used to making big decisions—and having them followed without question.

Richard Stonehouse, a former headmaster of an elite private school, is no stranger to leadership himself. But now, in his post-career chapter, Richard has embraced a more relaxed pace, determined to leave the stress behind and enjoy the simplicity of life at the Beach Sands Luxury Resort—a vibrant over-fifties community on the sunny Florida coast.

Naturally, when these two strong-willed personalities are paired to co-lead the resort's new competitive sports program, sparks fly—and not the romantic kind... at first.

In this contemporary romance filled with laugh-out-loud moments, simmering tension, and unexpected vulnerability, Colette finds herself both irritated and intrigued by Richard's laid-back charm. He's nothing like the men she's used to—but maybe that's exactly the point.

As rivalry turns to reluctant respect, and respect gives way to something far more complicated, Colette and Richard must ask themselves: is it possible to find love later in life, even when it looks nothing like what you imagined?

This feel-good over forty romance is perfect for readers who enjoy second chance stories, sharp banter, and romance books for women that celebrate mature love, fresh starts, and the beauty of letting go.

Welcome to the Beach Sands Luxury Resort, where love is always just around the corner—no matter your age.
