Cottage by the Sea A Novel

Rocked by an unimaginable family tragedy, Annie Marlow returns to the one place that holds her happiest memories: Oceanside, a charming beach town in the Pacific Northwest where she spent childhood summers at a small rental cottage. Her goal is to find solace and begin to heal her broken spirit. In Oceanside, she meets a cast of local characters who help her on her journey, including Keaton, a kind-hearted local painter and handyman with a large frame who helps her fix up her rental cottage; Mellie, the abrasive and reclusive landlord Annie is determined to befriend; and Britt, a troubled teenager with a secret. Annie and Keaton, who had a silent crush on her years ago, grow closer, offering her comfort and a reprieve from her grief. Just as Annie starts to build a new life and find love in this peaceful haven, a life-altering career opportunity in Seattle lands in her lap, forcing her to choose between the excitement of a new journey and the safe, secure arms of the haven—and the man—she has come to call home.
