A Sea for Summer: A Second Chance Beach Read

Claire Douglas’s life is falling apart. Her once-happy marriage is crumbling, and her heart feels as broken as the pastry shells she works with every day. Just when she’s ready to give up, her determined mother steps in with an unexpected plan—a couples’ retreat on Daydream Island. What was once a cherished friends-only getaway becomes a last-ditch effort to save Claire’s relationship.

Peter Douglas isn’t one to show his emotions, but he knows he’s made mistakes. The practical, numbers-driven accountant is skeptical that his mother-in-law’s bold intervention can mend what’s been broken. The distance between him and Claire feels insurmountable, and the unconventional sessions ahead seem like a long shot. But one goal is certain—he knows what he wants, and he isn’t leaving the island without her.

On the idyllic shores of Daydream Island, Claire and Peter must confront their fears, their past, and the possibility of a new beginning. Will they rediscover the love that brought them together, or will this be the final goodbye?

A Sea for Summer will sweep you away to the shores of Daydream Island, where love is tested and hearts find their way home. Get your copy today and rediscover the magic of second chances.

Praise for A Sea for Summer: “Shelley’s near rhapsodic prose allows her stories to bloom. She is able to capture not only our attention, but also our compassion…” (Grady Harp).
