A note from Elizabeth: I’m super excited (and equally nervous!) to attend Rendezvous – my first time! I’m most excited by the fact that all y’all coming are there because you love Christian fiction – and that is 100% my jam. Please come by and say hi – and let me know your favorite romance trope! I always need a good nudge to figure out what’s next. Thank YOU so much for coming out to support authors! (That feels like a lot of exclamation marks, but I am pretty stoked.)

 

About the Featured Title

Second Chance at the Seaside (Beachfront Billionaires #1)

At the end of summer, sixteen years ago, we promised we’d keep in touch. And I did.

She didn’t.

I spent a year reaching out to her in every way imaginable, desperately clinging to the future we’d planned while we walked hand-in-hand on the beach. When July rolled around again, I waited eagerly, for her family’s return.

They never came.

She never came.

I blamed her. I blamed myself. I blamed my big, involved family who are basically royalty on this island our ancestors found. After a while, I forgave her and moved on.

Of course I did.

Carrying a torch for sixteen years would be ridiculous.

So the fact that she’s come back to the island, apparently to stay? Doesn’t matter to me at all.

Maybe I’ve been asking God why, but I figure He’s got some kind of plan.

I can probably learn to accept her as a member of our little town, but that’s where it has to end.

My heart’s still too shattered to risk breaking it again.

Also Available: Married at the Marina, The Billionaire’s Nanny, The Billionaire’s Best Friend, Hope for Tomorrow
