Amazon Best Selling Author, Ellen Joy, has boxed her hit series, featuring later in life romances, second chances, single moms, and fresh starts, all of which are sweetened by a sisterhood of friends and a cozy small town on Martha's Vineyard.
Beach Home Beginnings - Starting over at 55 can be difficult, but a new beach house, great friends, and a sweet guy can make things a bit easier. Evelyn has been emotionally crippled since her husband's passing, but when she visits Martha's Vineyard, she learns she’s not alone after meeting Wanda, a divorcee with a secret, and Bitty, a sassy widow. As the three women make fast friends, they help each other learn how to move forward and start living and loving again.
Sea View Cottage - Renee doesn’t just want to survive her divorce. She wants to come out stronger and more independent, for herself and her unborn child. Evelyn and the girls support her daughter as she begins the next chapter in her life.
Sugar Beach Sunsets - Samantha's ex is getting married and her career is in the dumps. When all hope seems lost, friends and family help her find herself, a new love, and a new life.
Home on the Harbor - Harper is single and her career is in the slumps. Fortunately, she has Bitty, a friend and mother-figure, who helps her get her career on track and discover that love and happiness is sometimes hidden where you least expect to find it.
Christmas at Cliffside - After a humiliating break-up with her fiance, Lilah has lost her Christmas spirit, along with any hope of ever finding love. But when sparks ignite between Lilah and Drake, a single dad, they both need to decide whether to give happiness another chance, or risk passing up a Christmas miracle.
Ellen lives in a small town in New England, between the Atlantic Ocean and the White Mountains. She lives with her husband, two sons, and one very spoiled puppy princess.
Ellen writes in the early morning hours before her family wakes up. When she's not writing, you can find her spending time with her family, gardening with her puppy and chickens, or headed to the beach. She loves summer and flip-flops, running on a dirt country road, and a sweet love song.
All of her stories are clean romances where families are close, neighbors are nosy, and the couples are destined for each other.

I really enjoyed reading about and watching each of the characters go through their journeys and how they bonded to create a family through friendship. Great stories and characters. Looking forward to more from this author.
From the first pages, you’ll be drawn into the loneliness of endings and loss. But then one by one, you’ll cheer for women who get a second chance and strong friendships. Good characters, strong plot. Wonderful and satisfying.
Fabulous box set. I love how all the characters are in each book and how their personalities and relationships develop. Can’t wait to read part two of this box set . I highly recommend this book.
