JoLynne Coltrane is finally free, after years spent caregiving for the ex-husband who left her. Now, she's uncertain what comes next. At sixty-two, she’s not looking for romance. She’s not even sure she trusts her own judgment anymore. But freedom tastes a little like loneliness, and starting over isn’t as simple as it sounds.
Then Beau Landry reappears, a quiet, sun-worn rancher who once worked alongside her late husband. When he offers her a framed photograph from decades ago and an invitation to ride horses on his inland ranch, it shakes something loose in her. Something buried. Something alive.
Beau has his own burdens: a wounded brother, a struggling ranch, a job that pulls him in all directions. He didn’t expect JoLynne to be funny, guarded, luminous. And he definitely didn’t expect her to say yes.
As JoLynne slowly reclaims parts of herself she thought long gone—from horseback rides to unlikely friendships—she finds purpose in her small, aging beachside community. A growing need among her neighbors pushes her to take the lead on something new: a local health fair to bring services to the residents who need them most. It’s terrifying but thrilling to feel useful again.
But falling for Beau? That’s a complication she didn’t ask for. And maybe, deep down, doesn’t believe she deserves.
No Regrets is a tender, funny, and emotionally grounded story of second chances, hard-won self-trust, and late-in-life love that asks: What if the best part of your life isn’t behind you, but just beginning?
Genre: General Fiction
