Thirty years ago, Jonas and Anne Marie spent their honeymoon in the charming town of Seaside. Their love for the charming town prompted them to purchase a vacation home, envisioning annual family retreats. However, Jonas, consumed by his hockey career, seldom joined Anne Marie and the children, limiting his visits to sporadic long weekends.

Five years ago, Anne Marie retired with the expectation that Jonas would end his tenure as the GM for the Kennedy Caribou at the end of the season. Despite his earlier assurance, Jonas never announced his retirement, leading to four years of on-and-off marriage counseling. With their adult children pursuing their own lives, Anne Marie longs for a renewed connection with her husband, who seems to have misplaced their relationship as a priority.

Deciding to take matters into her own hands, Anne Marie departs for the summer in Seaside, leaving a letter on Jonas's desk. Meet me in Seaside. After years of therapy, promises, and disappointments, I'm giving you one summer—a chance to rediscover us in the place where our journey began. At the end of the season, we'll determine if our marriage is still worth saving.

Will Jonas put in the effort to demonstrate his commitment to saving their marriage? Can they rediscover their connection and salvage a marriage that once seemed unbreakable?

Sophie Masters is the anonymous alter-ego of a contemporary romance author who primarily writes closed-door, fade-to-black, or clean romance with an occasional low- to moderate-heat story. Sophie writes steamier stories, specializing in short stories, novellas, and serials that bring humor and heat. She is a huge fan of snark, sarcasm, and innuendos. Her stories feature curvy heroines and heroes who rock the dad bod. She doesn’t believe romance is dead once you’re thirty, so she writes characters in their 30s and 40s.
