Breaking Free in Serena Cove
(2026)(The fourth book in the Serena Cove series)
A novel by Lynne M Spreen
It’s never too late to create the life you really want.
Michelle Goodhew is starting over whether she likes it or not. At fifty-nine, she’s lost the teaching job she loved, sold the townhouse she can no longer justify, and moved into a fixer-upper in Serena Cove. The last thing she needs is another complication.
Especially one named Reid Donovan.
Two years ago, Michelle spent one unforgettable night with the handsome history teacher she met at a conference. By morning, he was gone. No explanation. No goodbye. And now? Of course he owns the place next door..
Reid has never forgotten Michelle—or forgiven himself for the way he left her. He had his reasons, but explaining them means facing feelings he’s avoided since his wife died. So he tells himself they can be neighbors. Then friends. Nothing more.
Michelle thinks freedom means heading out on her own. Reid thinks safety means never falling in love again. What if they'''re both wrong?
Genre: General Fiction
