Author Shelby Archer found inspiration for her first novel while living on the picturesque shores of Provincetown on Cape Cod. When she comes to the town to celebrate her new bestseller, she is expecting a warm homecoming. But instead she is confronted with the cold shoulders of friends and neighbors who feel exposed and betrayed.
Heartbroken, Shelby tries to move on and focus on her next novel. But then an unexpected call comes: her dear friend who owns the beloved Land’s End bookshop needs help for the summer. Shelby reluctantly returns to the Cape to manage the store.
Back at the beach, Shelby sets her focus on the tiny seaside shop, getting lost in the shelves of steamy romance novels and dusty classics and trying to right the wrongs of her past. With every page turned and every customer served, Shelby comes closer to gaining back the trust of those she hurt. But as her manuscript deadline nears, she is again forced to choose between her own success and a second chance at love and belonging.

Don’t Date Rosa Santos by Nina Moreno, while it isn’t actually set in summertime, it’s set in both Florida and Cuba so there’s a lot of outdoor scenes that work for this time of year.

None of what I am reading would be light beach reads, but they are good. I am currently reading A CHAIN OF PEARLS by Raemi A. Ray, a murder mystery set on Martha’s Vineyard. I am also working on. GRANDMA GATEWOOD’S WALK by Ben Montgomery which is nonfiction and excellent. Next up is THE BEST LIFE BOOK CLUB by Sheila Roberts, women’s fiction that might work well for a beach read.
