Publisher's summary

"[Thayne] engages the reader’s heart and emotions, inspiring hope and the belief that miracles are possible."—Debbie Macomber, #1 New York Times bestselling author

For fans of Debbie Macomber and Susan Wiggs, an emotional story of starting over and reclaiming happiness.

When Meredith Collins was a child, the little beach town of Cape Sanctuary lived up to its name. Spending summers there with her grandmother, Meredith finally felt safe and loved.

Now she’s returning in disgrace. Her late ex-husband swindled investors out of millions of dollars and made Meredith a figure of scorn—though she knew nothing about his scheme. But she still has the beach cottage she inherited from her grandmother and half ownership of the local café. It’s a place to work and earn a little money. That’s if her cousin, Tori, will let her through the door. Once, Tori and Meredith were as close as sisters—until Meredith chose her neglectful parents’ expectations over their bond. Now widowed with a teenage daughter, Tori isn’t setting out a welcome mat for the woman who let her down so badly.

While Meredith tries to make a fresh start, she is drawn to a mysterious writer renting the cottage next door. Liam Byrne’s kindness is a balm, though she worries he might not be so friendly if he knew who she was. But Liam has his own secret and a mission that will help Meredith confront her past—and maybe, claim a surprising future…

Cafe at Beach End

In between all the murder mysteries it’s good to have a budding romance. This was a very good one!

An enjoyable book

I liked the way the author put real life situations in the lives of the characters. The story was full of hard work, perseverance, forgiveness, understanding and love. I want all stories to have happy ending and was thrilled that this one did.
