Moonlight at Sandy Claus Bay
(2026)(The third book in the Sandy Claus Bay series)
A novel by Roxy Winterfield
Midlife Second-chance romance meets forced proximity when Maggie's college ex returns with a business proposal she can't refuse—and feelings she can't ignore.
At forty-five, Maggie Navarro has built a safe life in her coastal hometown. But when Julian Cross walks back into Sandy Claus Bay offering equal partnership in the gallery they once dreamed of building together, she faces an impossible choice: protect her heart or risk everything for the both/and life she's always denied herself.
Julian left for Manhattan twenty-three years ago and spent fifteen years learning that success without her meant nothing. Now he's back permanently, determined to prove his transformation is real—even if it takes working side-by-side every day to earn her trust.
A closed-door midlife romance about second chances, small-town community, and discovering it's never too late to choose love and ambition.
Perfect for readers who love:
