Saltwater & Second Chances
(2026)(The second book in the Moonstone Harbor series)
A novel by Nikki Mays
Sadie Monroe didn'''t come to Moonstone Harbor looking for love.
She came for quiet.
For stability.
For a fresh start for her seven-year-old daughter after a past she’d rather forget.
When Sadie inherits a tiny seaside cottage overlooking Seaglass Beach, it feels like the perfect place to begin again. A slower town. A simpler life. A future built entirely around Lucy.
Falling for the charming diner owner down the street was never part of the plan.
Theo Calloway has spent his whole life in Moonstone Harbor serving coffee, cracking jokes, and avoiding anything that looks remotely like responsibility. Relationships? Too complicated. Commitment? Not his thing.
But then Sadie and Lucy walk into his diner.
Lucy immediately decides Theo is her new favorite person.
Theo immediately decides kids are terrifying.
Unfortunately for him, Lucy is persistent… and Sadie is impossible to ignore.
Between summer night markets, beach bonfires, and long evenings watching the harbor lights shimmer across the water, the three of them slowly start building something none of them expected.
But trusting someone again means risking everything Sadie has fought to rebuild.
And Theo has never been the kind of man anyone depends on.
Until now.
In Moonstone Harbor, summer has a way of bringing people together… and sometimes the second chance you never planned for becomes the one you need most.
Genre: Romance
