SEAGLASS COTTAGE

A Seaside Cottage Romance – Book One

By Kimi Hodge

Dr. Emily Carter has spent eleven years saving lives in a Baltimore trauma center. But after one heartbreaking night leaves her emotionally depleted and questioning everything, she does the only thing she can think of—she walks away.

Seeking silence, solitude, and a chance to breathe again, Emily rents a charming 1920s beach cottage tucked away in a quiet Delaware seaside town. Four days. No responsibilities. No emergencies. No one needing anything from her.

At least, that was the plan.

When she arrives, she discovers the cottage has been double-booked.

Brody Montgomery, a dedicated Coast Guard officer, thought he had rented the same cottage for the same holiday weekend. With every hotel on the coast sold out, neither of them has anywhere else to go. Forced to share a tiny seaside cottage for four unexpected days, Emily and Brody strike a fragile truce built on separate spaces, simple rules, and a determination to keep their distance.

But the sea has a way of changing plans.

As long walks on quiet beaches, early morning coffee on a screened porch, and small acts of kindness begin to chip away at the walls they've built around themselves, Emily discovers that healing doesn't always happen in isolation. Sometimes it arrives disguised as an inconvenient stranger with a gentle heart and a steady presence.

Filled with coastal charm, heartwarming romance, found family, and the healing magic of the ocean, Seaglass Cottage is a feel-good beach romance about learning to rest, finding your way back to yourself, and discovering that love often appears when you stop looking for it.

Perfect for readers who love:
• Small-town beach romances
• Forced proximity romance
• Slow-burn chemistry
• Coast Guard heroes
• Emotional healing journeys
• Charming seaside communities
• Sweet, heartfelt happily-ever-afters

Escape to the shore and fall in love with the cottage that changes everything.

Out of Time by M. Jacqueline Murray

Out of Time by M. Jacqueline Murray

Life has a time limit. Love doesn’t.
Maddie Cole has spent seven decades living on her own terms. A trailblazing engineer who chose career over convention, she built a life she’s proud of, even if it meant leaving romance behind. At 78, she figures that chapter is closed.

Then a family weekend in Bar Harbor, Maine takes an unexpected turn. Her daughter gets called away on business, and Maddie finds herself alone at the Hope Point Lighthouse B&B with its owner, Nate Jacobs, an 83-year-old widower and former corporate lawyer who has lived his entire life by the book. Everything about him should put them at odds. Instead, long breakfasts, coastal walks, and unhurried conversation start to awaken something she had convinced herself she no longer needed.

And then comes the discovery that stops them both cold: they have been crossing paths for decades, in the same cities, the same circles, the same rooms, without ever truly meeting. Until now. With limited time ahead and something neither of them quite has words for between them, the question becomes whether this is the best possible timing or the worst.

Out of Time is the kind of love story that tends to catch readers off guard. It is quiet and funny and deeply human, with two protagonists who feel unmistakably real. Kirkus Reviews called it “an uplifting reminder that one may find love at any age,” and the book went on to win four International Firebird Book Awards, including Best Unconventional Love Story and Most Heartwarming. It was also a Finalist for the American Writing Awards in Women’s Fiction.
If you have ever wondered whether love has an expiration date, this book is a pretty convincing argument that it does not.

"I'm twelve years old, and until that Monday morning, I thought Chippewa Falls Middle School was the most boring place on Earth.

I was wrong.

The trouble started after second period. The hallways were packed with kids slamming lockers, shouting to friends, and rushing to class. Then I noticed something strange.

Everything around Locker 13 seemed darker than the rest of the hallway.

It sat alone beneath a flickering light.

Scratch.

Scratch.

Scratch.

The sound came from inside.

My stomach twisted as the locker door slowly creaked open on its own. A strange green glow spilled across the floor.

Then I heard it.

A whisper.

A voice that shouldn't have known my name.

'Evan…'"

Once Locker 13 opens, nothing at Chippewa Falls Middle School will ever be the same.

Will Evan discover what's hiding inside before it's too late… or will he become the thing's next victim?

The Pearl by Lav Atanasijin

The Pearl by Lav Atanasijin

About The Pearl by Lav Atanasijin

The Pearl is a profound, sweeping saga centered around family, the distinct spirit of an era, and a love that was simply destined to happen. It is an extraordinary story signed and marked by the inevitable shadows of civil war, yet its narrative blueprint and emotional core were written long before those conflicts ever began. Through the lens of literary theory, this work could elegantly be classified as a Young Adult novel, but at its heart, it is a timeless masterpiece meant for everyone from seven to one hundred and seven. The story masterfully delves into the deep philosophy of life, exploring the intricate dynamics of family, and the sacred bond between a husband and a wife. While rich in philosophical themes, the plot also carries the sharp, subtle, and gripping undertone of a domestic and social thriller, keeping readers thoroughly engaged from the very first page. The narrative gracefully and subtly traces the spirit of a specific time—an era that deeply lacked salt and substance. It captures the raw, existential transition from the 20th to the 21st century, framing this pivotal moment as an allegorical footprint of all humanity. Within this transition, the novel beautifully highlights and emphasizes the pure nobility of youth, showcasing a radiant inner strength that stands resolutely above any modern emptiness or despair. Partly introspective and deeply atmospheric, this book explores the intersection of memory, childlike innocence, and emotional comfort during a nocturnal reflection. It captures the delicate transition between waking and sleep, where the characters find solace in tender, nostalgic, and often sorrowful memories that evoke the true warmth of life. It is an unforgettable journey through time, resilience, and the enduring power of the human spirit.

CATERINA by Claire Kirby

CATERINA by Claire Kirby

My father gave my bodyguard one order: Keep me alive.
Simple.
Then Adrian Donato moved into my life.

My office. My home.
My shadow. My prison.

He is ex-military.
Cold.
Controlled.
Dangerous in a way that doesn’t need threats.

And he watches me like protection is only half the reason he never looks away.

I’m Caterina Conti.
Daughter of a mafia don.

A woman raised to understand power, danger, and the cost of both.

I should hate having Adrian at my side.
I should resent every order.
Every locked door.
Every possessive glance when another man gets too close.

But threats against my family are turning deadly.
And the colder Adrian becomes, the more I realize he may be the only thing standing between me and the people coming for us.

He says he would kill to keep me safe.

The terrifying part?
I believe him.

The worst part?
I want him anyway.

Now betrayal is everywhere.
Enemies are closing in.

And the man sworn to protect me has become the one thing I can’t resist.

There’s just one complication.

I’m carrying my bodyguard’s baby.
