After discovering her husband of 25 years in a compromising position, Marley Abbott trades the bustling suburbs of Atlanta for the quiet shores of Sunset Cove, a sleepy beach town that promises a fresh start. Fueled by her lifelong dream, Marley opens a cozy café, Marley’s Sweet Treats, with the help of her loyal friends—Patty Sue, Dolly, Cindy, and the ever-charming handyman Nick Calder.
Nick, a reserved and slightly grumpy, yet kind-hearted local, has been mending his own broken heart after years of estrangement from his troubled daughter, Callie. As Nick and Marley spend long days restoring the café, their friendship blossoms into something deeper, offering them both the possibility of love, healing, and belonging.
But just as Marley begins to let her guard down, Nick’s past comes crashing back into his life. A desperate call from Callie forces Nick to abruptly leave Sunset Cove, ending things with Marley through a painful text. Heartbroken but resilient, Marley buries herself in the café, determined to make it on her own—until Nick returns pleading for forgiveness and a second chance.
With the support of her fiercely loyal daughters and friends, Marley must decide if she’s willing to risk her heart again. At its core, Seasons of Change is a heartwarming, small-town, women's fiction romance about rediscovering love later in life, the power of friendship, and the courage to rebuild—even after the seasons of life threaten to pull everything away.
Set against the backdrop of sandy beaches, homemade cupcakes, and the salty breeze of Sunset Cove, this story is a celebration of second chances, found family, and the simple joys of a coastal life where love is always just around the corner.
For fans of second-chance, starting over, later-in-life, small-town, summer beach reads, and women's fiction romance. And for fans of Virgin River, Sweet Magnolias, and Hart of Dixie.
