Tilly planned the perfect surprise to celebrate her 20th wedding anniversary... but her husband has a surprise of his own. A divorce.
Oh, and he’s selling the house.
With only 2 weeks to pack her things and leave, 41-year-old Tilly Simmons is a mess. Her daughter persuades her to escape to Clearwater Beach to get away, and reunite with her sister that she hasn’t seen in years.
The sun-kissed beaches, charming cafes, and crisp Sauvignon Blanc offer a welcomed distraction, and lead the trio to meet some interesting locals. Including a particular handsome carpenter, who might just convince Tilly to stay a little longer. And maybe even start that Paint & Pinot business she’s always dreamed of…
But without any funds to her name, she can’t afford to renovate the studio that could jumpstart her perfect fresh start. Why does it seem like the universe is conspiring against her?
As it turns out, it isn’t just Tilly who’s struggling. Her sister’s marriage isn’t as perfect as it seems, her now-ex-husband won’t seem to disappear, and her daughter is hiding a big secret.
Join this wonderful cast of characters set against a beachside backdrop, as they navigate the rocky tides of life and love, while trying to start over again in paradise.
This is The Complete Fresh Start in Florida series [Books 1 - 6]
Great series. My heart went out to Tilly throughout the series. She put up with so much during her 20 year marriage and finally decided she had enough. Alyssa, her daughter, stood with her. Lynne, her sister, was always there for her. All three characters went through a lot emotionally. This was a great read.
