My Dear Fellow Romance Reader, I simply must tell you about a book that had me canceling my plans and ignoring my phone all weekend. If you love mother-son relationships, seaside mysteries, and the kind of romance that proves the heart doesn't care about birthdays, you need to meet Dr. Florence Bennett. Picture this: Florence is a 55-year-old OB-GYN who's dedicated her life to bringing babies into the world and raising her son James as a single mom. Then comes the phone call that turns her world upside down – James is engaged to a woman she's never met, and the wedding is in three weeks! But here's where it gets interesting. The future in-laws? They're the incredibly wealthy Prescotts, and they've already bought James and his fiancée an apartment, planned an extravagant vineyard wedding, and basically mapped out the young couple's entire future. (I know, alarm bells went off for me too!) The Prescotts' magnificent Rockaway Beach estate should feel like a fairytale setting for her son's wedding. Instead, it's become a maze of perplexing clues that keep Florence awake at night. The wedding invitations—which Martha swears were mailed weeks ago—vanish into thin air, vendors cancel day-of without explanations, and countless whispered conversations linger in every crevice. With each passing day, Florence's maternal instincts become harder to ignore. What started as simple wedding stress has evolved into something far more unsettling—and she might be the only one who sees it. And then there's Colin – the estate's charming photographer with knowing eyes and an uncanny ability to appear just when Florence is following another clue. She tells herself she's too old for butterflies, especially with her son's wedding in chaos. But every time he looks at her over his camera lens, she feels like maybe, just maybe, there's more than one love story unfolding in Rockaway Beach. Trust me, this story will remind you that it's never too late for love, adventure, or standing up for what matters most. And that sometimes the best chapters of our lives start in the middle of the story. P.S. This is just Book 1 of the Pacific Secrets series, and believe me, you'll want them all! ➡ Click "Learn More" to start reading now
