A fresh start, a buried secret, and the courage to open your heart again.

Birdie Fuller doesn't like change—but life isn't asking her permission. With her daughter and young grandson moving to the city, Birdie is suddenly staring down an empty nest and old ghosts. Loneliness pushes her toward online dating, and she meets a charming man who seems almost too perfect. But when painful memories resurface, Birdie must fight to protect the hard-won sobriety she holds dear.

Meanwhile, Hannah is caught between two worlds: the quiet island that fuels her creativity and the bustling city where her business could finally take off. For three years, she's kept the truth from Ryan—the man who broke her heart and fathered her child. But when he unexpectedly reappears on Palmetto Island, everything Hannah's tried to protect begins to unravel.

Will Birdie and Hannah find the strength to embrace love, even when it threatens their carefully guarded peace?

In Book Two of the Palmetto Island series, second chances come with big risks—and even bigger rewards.
