The Birchwood House (Coral Sands Book 1)

Escape to Coral Sands, a charming seaside town where second chances, sweet romance, and family ties are waiting for you!

A vanished husband. A devastating secret. A chance for three generations of women to start over.

When Audrey Lowe’s husband disappears without a word, she’s frantic, certain something terrible has happened to him. But worry turns to shock when she finds out the truth: he’s run off with a younger woman. Even worse, he secretly stopped paying the mortgage, leaving Audrey heartbroken and facing foreclosure.

Her adult daughter Michelle is also reeling from an upheaval after losing her job. So when Audrey’s mother, Elaine, offers them a place to stay in the large waterfront mansion she inherited years ago, they pack up and move to the small Maine town of Coral Sands.

Together, grandmother, mother, and daughter work to restore both their family bonds and the historic old house. As they do, an ambitious idea begins to take shape: what if they turn the mansion into a local hotel that they can run together?

As she takes on that daunting project, Audrey reconnects with childhood friends and has a clumsy run-in with Evan McBride, the town’s handsome mayor. His charming grin leaves her flustered in a way she never expected to feel again—but despite the way he gets under her skin, she’s wary of risking her still-healing heart.

Will she ever be able to move past the loss and betrayal that brought her to Coral Sands? Or do some things follow you no matter where you go?

Leave your worries behind and pay a visit to Coral Sands, a picturesque small town on the coast of Maine filled with a cast of characters you’ll come to love. This warm and uplifting women’s fiction story is a reminder that it’s never too late to start over, and that everything is sweeter with family and friends by your side!
