Second Chance Love in Point Perry

She has nothing left to lose. He stands to lose it all. Point Perry has other ideas.

With her mother’s ashes and no idea where to scatter them, a heart full of guilt and a town full of childhood memories, Erin Fitzgerald’s return home to Point Perry is bittersweet. The little seaside community is the only place that still feels like home—somewhere to breathe, to grieve, to get her life back on track.

Falling for the local schoolteacher is nowhere on the list.

Having weathered the disaster of his failed marriage to a Hollywood actress, Tom Schultz has fought to build stability, and he isn’t looking for complications—or love. He can’t afford either when his priority is the one thing that matters more than anything—the boy his wife walked out on when he was a baby.

As Erin and Tom navigate their pasts and dare to hope for love once more, Point Perry rolls out the sand carpet for Tom's ex-wife, the hometown star who left and made it big. However, she has a hidden agenda: to take their son from him. Tom's entire world is one wrong move from falling apart.

But in a town that shows up for its own, two broken people discover that the bravest thing isn’t guarding their hearts—it’s trusting someone with them.

Some second chances are worth being brave for.

A big-emotion romance about grief, fatherhood, found family, community spirit and the courage to love again—for readers of Rachael Johns and the small-town warmth of Virgin River. Set on the windswept South Australian coast. Guaranteed happily ever after.
