Beachview Family Secrets
(2025)(The ninth book in the Seabrook Island series)
A novel by Megan Holley
A secret affair from the past. A second chance at love in the present. A seaside bookstore where every cup of tea comes with a story.
Willa Harmon should be basking in engagement bliss, but instead she’s haunted by what she found beneath her grandmother’s floorboards—a stack of hidden love letters that tell a story of forbidden passion and lifelong lies.
The woman who preached honesty her whole life, Evelyn Harmon, her beloved Grandmother, may have been in decades-long secret affair with a married man the island once revered.
And when the letters hint at a cover-up surrounding Jane McDermott’s mysterious Valentine’s disappearance—Evelyn’s best friend who vanished sixty years ago, Willa begins to wonder whether love and truth can ever share the same path.
Her fiancé Leon knows something’s wrong. He just doesn’t know how deep the secret runs or what it might cost them both.
Across town, bestselling romance author Kathryn Morgan swears she came to Seabrook for inspiration, not romance. But writer’s block has other plans. Her best chapters start flowing right after she bumps into Richard Whitman—yes, that Richard—Grace’s ex-husband, the one everyone has an opinion about.
Inspiration suddenly has kind eyes, a quiet smile, and a complicated past that tangles Kathryn’s heart and conscience in equal measure.
And when a bundle of Evelyn's forgotten journals surfaces in the old attic, Seabrook’s carefully buried secrets begin to unravel, binding Grace, Willa, and Kathryn into a story that blurs the lines between love and morality, loyalty and betrayal, truth and illusion.
In a town where everyone knows everyone’s business, these three women must decide what to keep, what to uncover, and who to believe when love itself is the most dangerous secret of all.
As the February tide rises and Seabrook’s Valentine Festival draws near, hearts will break, loyalties will shift, and love will face the hardest question of all:
‘When the past comes crashing in like the tide, who will sink, who will swim and who will finally find the courage to love again?’
Beachview Family Secrets is a sweeping tale of love, secrets, and the lies that bind families and generations together.
Perfect for readers of Liane Moriarty, Barbara O’Neal, and Kristin Hannah who crave small-town mystery wrapped in heart and hope.
Genre: Romance
