Bayside Beginnings

Some secrets refuse to stay buried, even in paradise.

Felicity Bond thought she was retreating for a quiet summer at her grandmother's cozy bed and breakfast, but the island has other plans. Instead, she finds herself helping charming historian Brent Dunn unravel an island mystery involving a visiting prince, a forbidden romance, and a scandal that's haunted the local families for generations.

But as they delve deeper into the past, they discover that some secrets are best left buried. Felicity must decide whether to follow her heart or play it safe, even as Brent's own family history becomes entangled in the mystery.

In this heartwarming tale of new beginnings, second chances, and the enduring power of love, Felicity learns that Magnolia Key has a way of revealing what each person needs most—if only they're brave enough to accept it. Filled with richly drawn characters, emotional depth, and the singular charm of the Florida coast, this enchanting story explores the joy of finding your true path and the courage to pursue it.
