The Abalone Shell

The message was undeniable... Fight for her.

Six months after her divorce, Hope St. Cloud is in need of a fresh perspective, and she knows exactly where to find it--at her family's cottage in Sea Glass Cove. Surrounded by abundant peace and fond childhood memories, Hope and her daughter will be able to find a new rhythm with just the two of them.

Nothing could have prepared her for the tantalizing attraction to local gallery owner Owen McKinney. Or for his instant connection with her shy daughter.

It's been three years since the accident that stole all Owen held dear. That's more than enough time to mourn and move on. When Hope and her adorable daughter stroll into his gallery, he finds in them all the joy and adventure he lost. But Hope's divorce is still fresh, and he's afraid she might've made a mistake divorcing her husband.

Then a sign straight from his past makes it clear that Hope and her daughter are his future, and he can't let them walk away.
