And not only has life been kind, both are in for some of the greatest highs they've ever experienced. Luke has a big surprise up his sleeve for Deb, and Gen's family is about to welcome one of their greatest blessings. But even as their dreams are coming true, the women are finding life is never just cupcakes and roses. Bess thought dating a man after being married for thirty years was hard. But that was nothing compared to dating two men. It becomes too much for Bess, and she decides to put her all into making things work with Jon again. But going back to what she and Jon were is a lot harder than she thought it would be. Especially because she is no longer the same woman who was once married to Jon. Lily and Allen have a loving, incredible marriage, but when confronted with the biggest trial of their lives, can they hold on to the good and push past the bad? Or will they break under the ever increasing pressure of their new circumstances? Olivia is finally ready to date again. She still has scars from her marriage to Bart, but she is stronger, wiser, and needs to move on. Too bad Dean, the man she has deep feelings for, is dating another woman. The last thing Olivia would ever do is break up a good couple. So instead of dating Dean, she decides to let him set her up with his friend. What could possibly go wrong? Through the mess and craziness of life's ever-present changes, the women continue to rely on each other. And they're reminded that even after the longest of nights, the sun always rises again.

A beautiful read from beginning to end.” Sibzzreads ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Two sisters who haven’t spoken for twenty years. One summer to bring a family back together. Jayne Winters hasn’t seen her sister Charlotte since that last childhood holiday at their grandmother’s North Carolina beach house. Separated after that summer by their parents in a bitter divorce, Charlotte has never forgiven Jayne for not fighting to stay together. So when Jayne discovers that they have both inherited the beach house, and that their grandmother’s last wish was for them to renovate it together, it feels like a miracle: one last chance to win her sister back. At first Charlotte will barely speak to her. But slowly the memories of swimming races and storytelling in their attic bedroom looking over the sea start to break down the wall between them. With the help of photographs and letters left by their grandmother for them to find, the two women begin to restore not just the creaking mahogany staircase and the faded antique wallpaper, but their own relationship. But then Jayne discovers that Charlotte has kept a heart-stopping secret from their past from her. Can she find it in her heart to forgive her sister and keep their grandmother’s dream of reuniting them alive—or are some wounds too big to heal?

But when Deb sees the handsome picture of the first man the site has ready for her, there's no talking Deb out of it. She is going to date ... and she's going to date that guy. Olivia is growing and moving on ... literally. She moves from her parents' home to rent the backyard cottage of none other than Dean Haskell--the saint of a man who has saved Olivia more than once. And although she senses her feelings of attraction growing for the man and thinks he might possibly feel the same way about her, Olivia knows the baggage she carries is still too fresh and heavy for anyone to deal with. Especially a man who deserves the world, like Dean. So against every female cell in Olivia's body, she decides that she and Dean will just be friends. Bess feels like her world has finally been righted. Her food truck is thriving, her children are moving forward, and her friends are doing well. After months of trying to decide what was best for her family, and especially for herself, Bess pulled the trigger on divorcing Jon. And although she will always have love in her heart for the man who was by her side for thirty years, the betrayal she experienced was too much to just let him walk back into her life. But when another man--ten years Bess's junior, charming, good-looking, and extremely into Bess--falls into her lap, Bess isn't sure what to do. Dating a new man feels wrong, but then so does going back to Jon. Join the women of Whisling on this next thrilling and beautiful chapter of their lives in New Beginnings on Whisling Island.
