Coming Home to Serena Cove
(2025)(The second book in the Serena Cove series)
A novel by Lynne M Spreen
She’s 48, stuck in a community for seniors. He’s 58, stuck in the past. A fake marriage was the easy part. What came next was harder.
After her mother passes away, Cass Summerall is burned out and broke. Her only option is to move into her mother’s empty house in Serena Cove, a sleepy coastal retirement community where she’s too young to live legally. When the HOA threatens eviction, she faces the very real possibility of losing her last foothold.
Her gruff neighbor, Gus Schmidt, has a different problem. His elderly mother wants to see him married again before she dies, but Gus is still in love with his late wife. A simple solution presents itself: if Cass agrees to pose as his new bride on a quick trip to North Dakota, he can keep his mother happy, and Cass can avoid eviction until the house is sold.
It could work. No romance. No entanglements. Just a temporary fix.
But as their fake marriage grows complicated and the lines between pretense and possibility blur, Cass and Gus must decide whether to return to the lives they had planned, or risk building something real together.
Warm, witty, and full of heart, Coming Home to Serena Cove is a story of second chances, late beginnings, and the quiet magic of finding your place—when and where you least expect it.
Genre: General Fiction
