Book Description

They were supposed to grow old together. Instead, he built a new life without her.

Julie has spent 21 years being the perfect wife. Now that their daughters are grown, she and Michael are ready for their next adventure—packing up their home and finally buying the beach house she’s always dreamed of. One last business trip, and then their new life begins.

But when Michael returns, everything changes. Distant. Cold. And hiding a secret that will destroy everything. Another woman. Another home. A baby boy. And just like that, he walks away, leaving her with nothing.

Determined to move forward, Julie takes a leap of faith and buys a crumbling cottage in the South Carolina Lowcountry. But the house is falling apart, her critical mother and estranged sister show up uninvited, and she’s never felt more lost.

Then there’s Dawson—the rugged contractor with a quiet strength and a past of his own. He offers to help, whether she wants him to or not.

Just as Julie begins to find her footing, a phone call threatens to pull her back. Michael has been in a terrible accident. His new girlfriend refuses to help. And suddenly, the man who betrayed her needs her.

Does she owe anything to the past? Or is this finally her time to start over?
