Descripción editorial
A moving, uplifting novel about motherhood, starting over, and an unexpected summer romance…
Kit Blakemore is ready to live again. After her husband died while serving in the military, she was in a haze of grief. Now she wants to reclaim her former self—finish her degree and find a better career to provide for their sweet little boy, Oliver. To do that, she’ll need to sell her late husband’s dilapidated Victorian in Seashell Harbor. But first, Kit intends to give Ollie the kind of unforgettable seaside summer she had growing up, making lifelong memories and friendships.
Of course, nothing goes exactly as she planned. Ollie is struggling with his confidence, and frankly, so is Kit. But everything changes when her husband’s best friend, Alex de la Cruz, returns to town, offering to help her renovate. She doesn’t expect Alex to temporarily move in…or for him to bond with Ollie…or for her numb heart to begin thawing. Slowly he’s helping Kit and Ollie heal, and it scares her to death.
Kit swore she wouldn’t leave herself open to the pain of loss again. But if she’s going to teach her son to be brave and move forward, Kit must first face her own fears.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Liasson's soul-stirring second Seashell Harbor romance (after Coming Home to Seashell Harbor) sees widow Kit Blakemore rebuilding a life for herself and her son, Ollie. Two years after her husband, Carson, an Air Force fighter pilot, was killed in action, Kit knows she needs to emerge from her grief. The heaviest weight on her shoulders is the crumbling beachfront house that Carson bought, but never got around to refurbishing. Now Kit hopes to fix up the property to sell. Carson's best friend, Alex de la Cruz, offers to help, and though Kit refuses, believing that the grumpy Alex has never much liked her, Alex shows up anyway. Making sure Carson's wife and son are set for their future is the least Alex can do to assuage his own grief and survivor's guilt. There's just one problem: he doesn't want Kit knowing how much he's always secretly loved her. Through shared grief, healing, and home renovations, these two grow closer and come to realize how right they are for each other. It's a familiar setup, but Liasson brings great emotion and a sense of immediacy to the love story that will hook readers regardless. The result is a sweet, sensitive charmer.
