Sunsets & Second Chances (South Carolina Sunsets) by Hanna, Rachel. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781709658785.

A fresh-start divorcée. A widowed contractor in no hurry. One stranger at the door on Christmas Day. Julie Pike is finally standing on her own two feet. Twenty years of marriage ended with her husbands affair, so she traded the city for Seagrove — a little island off the South Carolina coast — a job at the Down Yonder bookstore, and a house on the marsh where shes quietly writing her first novel. Shes even hosting Christmas dinner. What she isnt ready for is how she feels about the man across the table. Dawson Lancaster is the islands only contractor and its most patient man. He lost his wife and infant son years ago, and grief still has a key to his front door. Julie makes him want to try again — if he can figure out how to move forward without feeling like hes leaving his late wife behind. Then Christmas Day brings a knock: Dixies estranged son, William, back after ten years with a chip on his shoulder and no explanation. And Dixie — the red-haired spitfire who holds the whole town together — is carrying news she hasnt told another soul. Between a prodigal son nobody trusts, Julies sister Janine trading yoga lessons for paddle boarding lessons with the least popular man on the island, and two daughters falling for all the wrong men, Julies fresh start is about to get complicated. This is a story about the family you make, the grief you finally set down, and a love thats worth the wait — served with sweet tea and a heaping side of Dixies opinions. • Second Chance at Love • Widower Hero • Slow Burn Romance • Small Town Island Community • Found Family • Prodigal Son Returns • Estranged Sisters Reconciled • Midlife Fresh Start • Sunday Dinners & Southern Charm Heat Level: Just Kisses Tone: Heartwarming Series Type: Book 2 of the South Carolina Sunsets series Ending: HEA POV: Third Person, Multiple Content Notes: Clean romance, no explicit content; themes of grief, divorce, and a loved ones illness Perfect for fans of Sherryl Woods, Debbie Macomber, and RaeAnne Thayne.
