Montauk
by Nicola Harrison
This time he has promised things will go differently and they will finally give their marriage a second chance.
But she will be soon disappointed, again and will find herself spending more time alone or taking part in social activities to find good connections for her husband’s business, than with the man she has once loved.
During the weeks alone, Bea starts to ponder on the reasons of the choices that have made her such a sad woman, trapped in a relationship that brings her all the superficial sparkle, but that not let her shine as the woman and wife her heart needs.

The Southern Side of Paradise
by Kristy Woodson Harvey
I just adore this family. It is not your usual family. The Murphy girls are funny, strong, and definitely, have each other’s backs. And when the secret (of course there is a secret!) comes out they must lean on each other to help forgive.
This is a story full of strength, love, and family. It is about overcoming obstacles and accepting people for who they are and understanding their decisions and the circumstances under which those decisions were made. This is a fabulous, southern beach read. This whole series is fabulous.

Set in the 1950s against the backdrop of Grace Kelly’s whirlwind romance and unforgettable wedding to Prince Rainier of Monaco, New York Times bestselling author Hazel Gaynor and Heather Webb take the reader on an evocative sun-drenched journey along the Côte d’Azur in this page-turning novel of passion, fate and second chances…

The Scent Keeper
by Erica Bauermeister
Emmeline lives an enchanted childhood on a remote island with her father, who teaches her about the natural world through her senses. What he won’t explain are the mysterious scents stored in the drawers that line the walls of their cabin, or the origin of the machine that creates them. As Emmeline grows, however, so too does her curiosity, until one day the unforeseen happens, and Emmeline is vaulted out into the real world–a place of love, betrayal, ambition, and revenge. To understand her past, Emmeline must unlock the clues to her identity, a quest that challenges the limits of her heart and imagination.
Lyrical and immersive, The Scent Keeper explores the provocative beauty of scent, the way it can reveal hidden truths, lead us to the person we seek, and even help us find our way back home.
