Beachside Memories by Fiona Baker

Return to Marigold Island in this heartwarming family saga with characters you’ll want to visit again and again!

Grace Nelson is 39 years old, but she doesn’t know what she wants to do with her life. After spending the past several years as the primary caretaker for her ill father, she’s grown accustomed to putting someone else’s needs above her own.

After he passes away, she feels adrift and uncertain, mourning his death as she tries to figure out her next steps. When her childhood friends Lydia Walker and Angela Collins invite her visit Marigold Island and stay at the Beachside inn, it sounds like the perfect escape. As much as she loves Colorado, she’s missed the beach, and time away from her regular routine will give her a chance to rediscover who she is.

Joshua Marsden isn’t looking for a change. His life is fine just the way it is, thank you. Sure, he works a bit too much, but it’s that level of dedication that helped him build his restaurant into the successful establishment it is today.

Still, when a friend challenges him to try something new, he reluctantly agrees to sign up for a few classes through the local rec center. He doesn’t expect to enjoy himself at all… until he strikes up a conversation with the pretty brunette woman in his pottery class. Grace is only visiting for the summer, but the connection between them is undeniable.

Lydia and Angela are thrilled to reconnect with their old friend, and they’re happy to see her flourishing on Marigold. Meanwhile, Grant and Lydia are planning their wedding, and another proposal is right around the corner.

Who will be the next to say I do?
