A New Chapter in Rosewood Beach (Rosewood Beach #7)

A feel-good family saga about taking chances, following your heart, and finding love at any age.

Surrounded by the bustling warmth of The Lighthouse Grill, Vivian Owens has everything she could ever ask for. Well… almost everything. Even as her children thrive around her, she’s still watching from the sidelines, reluctant to step into the spotlight of her own story.

When a car accident leaves her stranded outside of town, it’s her friend Terrence Rawlins who comes to her rescue. In a moment of clarity—or maybe recklessness—Vivian does something that surprises them she kisses him. And that one impulsive gesture cracks open the door to possibilities she’s been too afraid to consider.

Terrence has liked Vivian from the moment they met—even back when she bristled at the sight of him. As their contentious beginnings grew into a close friendship, he’s been patient, determined to be there for her and give her heart time to heal. Now, with that unexpected kiss lingering between them, he hopes she’s finally ready to take a chance on love again.

But dating at this stage of life feels like navigating uncharted waters, and Vivian can’t help the doubts that creep in. Is she betraying Frank’s memory? Has she forgotten how to open her heart? As she cautiously steps into a relationship with Terrence, she also finds herself pursuing a long-abandoned passion that reminds her just how much life still has to offer.

Meanwhile, as Alexis counts down the final weeks of her pregnancy, everyone is anxious to meet the little one. Faith contemplates her future with Ryan, and Noelle encourages Dean to take some pressure off of himself by bringing on a partner at the mechanic shop.

Take a trip to Rosewood Beach, where the water is warm, the sand is soft, and the Owens family is waiting to welcome you into their lives! This sweet and uplifting women’s fiction series is the perfect bookish escape.
