She came to New Smyrna Beach to close the door on her old life. He gave her a reason to open a new one.

At fifty-two, Della Hartwell has a finalized divorce, a dead aunt's crumbling beachfront cafe, and a plan: fix it up, sell it, and figure out who she is supposed to be now. She did not plan on Mac Brennan, the gruff, grieving dock-master next door who fixes everything except the wall he put up the day he buried his wife.

Mac has run his marina on the same stretch of sugar-white sand for thirty years. He keeps to his boats, his old dog, and the quiet. Then a woman with her aunt's recipe tin and flour on her cheek moves in next door and starts knocking the whole town awake, and him along with it.

Junebug's Beach Cafe is falling down around her, a slick developer wants the entire oceanfront block, and the only person who can save the place is the last man Della wants to lean on. Working side by side, two people who thought their best years were behind them start to wonder if the sweetest season might be the one still coming.

A sweet, clean, slow-burn second-chance romance with no spice and a guaranteed happily-ever-after. Welcome to New Smyrna Beach, where every book is a new couple, a fresh start, and a happy ending.
