Beachfront Pages
She came to the beach to finish writing a novel. Instead, she may have stumbled into a secret no one was meant to uncover.
Bestselling mystery author Fiona Wells is out of words, out of time, and running from problems back home she’s not ready to face. With a publishing deadline looming, she escapes to Sea Glass Cottage beside the Lockhart Lighthouse, determined to finish her overdue manuscript and figure out the rest later.
But the peaceful Gulf Coast retreat refuses to remain merely a place to work.
The close-knit lighthouse community welcomes Fiona into sunset gatherings, shared meals, and friendships she never intended to form. And at Tides & Tales Bookshop, she meets Marty Fuller, a former literature professor whose disdain for commercial fiction makes their spirited debates impossible to resist.
There’s only one problem. Marty has no idea Fiona is the bestselling novelist whose books he’s dismissed.
Then Fiona discovers an obscure academic paper identifying the Lockhart Lighthouse as a site of unusual linguistic interest. One of its authors bears a name that makes lighthouse keeper Winnie abruptly end the conversation. Fiona’s writerly curiosity takes over, drawing her toward a secretive project that may have brought brilliant minds together at the lighthouse decades ago.
As her connection with Marty deepens and the life she left behind refuses to stay put, Fiona’s carefully protected identities begin to collide. When the past catches up and Marty discovers who she really is, Fiona must decide whether she’ll keep hiding behind appearances or risk everything for a life built on truth.
Perfect for fans of novels with a sun-soaked blend of small-town secrets, bookshop banter, and a touch of sweet romance. Beachfront Pages is book 4 in the Starlight Shores series. A series full of found family, second chances, and new beginnings.
