Seashells & Second Chances

Welcome back to Beachwood Bay. The gossip's loud, the goats are judgmental, and love never stays buried for long.

She got dumped live on morning television, so naturally, Bianca Serrano fled to her seaside hometown.

When NYC sommelier Bianca Serrano's fiancé ends their engagement between the weather and sports, she does what any dignified woman would do, smiles through the humiliation, calls it "thin, with an unpleasantly bitter finish," and disappears to Beachwood Bay to hide in wine and denial.

Unfortunately, Beachwood Bay has other plans.

Her estranged mother now runs a goat yoga retreat that's one bad season away from bankruptcy. Her sharp-tongued grandmother is hiding financial secrets and dropping wisdom Bianca isn't ready to hear. And her quiet escape is shattered when she runs straight into Noah Holt, the first love she ghosted twelve years ago, who is somehow even more annoyingly perfect, still feeding the same pelican every morning, and looking at her like he remembers everything.

Now Bianca is stuck planning a town fundraiser with the man she left without a goodbye, pairing wine with goat yoga (don't ask), and pretending her heart isn't absolutely spiraling every time Noah fixes something without being asked, which is constantly.

She came home to recover. She didn't expect a goat named Gwyneth Paltrow, a grandmother who sees right through her, or a second chance with the one person who made her want to stay. The problem? Bianca has never learned how to stay. And Noah has spent twelve years learning not to hope she would.

A laugh-out-loud, closed-door beach romcom full of small-town chaos, salty banter, wine-soaked wisdom, and one woman finally learning the difference between running toward something and running away.
