A Kindle All Star Award Winning Novel

Not every woman has a tribe.

Olivia Lawson has just realized that she is one of those women.

Cardinal Cove, Maine.

Olivia "Liv" Lawson has lived in town her entire life and wouldn’t change it for anything. It’s in this idyllic beach town that she met the love of her life, Dane, and happily settled down with him into her dream house.

After joining the Windbreaker Country Club Liv’s social life blossomed, her summers were full of sipping frozen drinks on the beach or lounging by the pool with her new friends. Nights were just as lively, whether it was hosting a party with Dane at their house or joining their friends and attending one of the many events the club threw throughout the summer.

That’s all changed now, though.

The man that she stood by for over fifteen years, the man who said he would always be there for her and not to worry, is gone, and in his absence Liv’s whole world is falling apart.

She has no tribe. Her friends are noticeably distancing themselves, not returning her calls and dodging her texts. Women are always talking about being so lucky to have such good friends to rely on, their “people”, their “tribe”. Liv needs hers and they’ve abandoned her.

Already reeling from Dane’s death, she’s dealt another devastating blow, and finds herself questioning if she ever even knew who Dane really was.

With her bank account dwindling and no place to live she’s left with one humiliating option for her next step.

Liv is starting over. Whether she wants to or not.

An uplifting story that offers something for everyone - humor, friendship, light romance, all set in a small beach town.

Grab your favorite beverage, settle into your reading spot, and step into this book that is a must read for lovers of women's fiction. Starting over, clean romance, twists and turns, sorrow, humor, and friendships are all a part of this engaging novel.

A beautiful novel with strong female characters, a horrible husband, an incorrigible ex and an adorably decent man. A story about stressful lives and new beginnings, with a delicious mash up of mystery, drama and romance, set in the gorgeous Northumberland scenery.

Charlotte is a young lawyer living in London, with the world at her feet. She has a luxury flat, a sports car and plenty of money, yet she is unhappy and the job that she used to love now gives her panic attacks. On the advice of her doctor, she takes some time off work to de-stress and hires a cottage in a small coastal village of Warkworth, Northumberland.
But will the lack of wi-fi and London conveniences cause her even more stress?

Linda, a resident of Warkworth, is a middle-aged woman who has never had a career, never travelled out of the country and lives under the control of her violent and abusive husband. When her husband goes missing, an over-zealous police officer begins to suspect that she is hiding something and is determined to arrest her for his murder.

As Linda struggles to convince him of her innocence, the two women cross paths and help each other in a way that neither of them would have predicted and, although their characters couldn't be more different, they forge an unlikely friendship, despite the 20 year age gap.
