Salt-Kissed Dreams
Slip away to Magnolia Shore, a cozy beachfront town whose residents will warm your heart and make you want to revisit over and over!
As a single mother, June Caldwell has had plenty of practice keeping a dozen balls in the air. Between work, navigating Benjamin’s new diagnosis, book club, and singing at open mic nights, she barely has a second to breathe… let alone think about love.
Then a handsome stranger compliments her singing after a show one night, and that single moment upends the carefully managed chaos of her life.
It isn’t until after she impulsively offers him singing lessons that she realizes the mysterious newcomer to Magnolia Shore is none other than Levi Hawkins, a well-known country singer who rose to fame with his soulful voice and heartfelt lyrics.
Despite her flustered annoyance that he let her believe he was just a regular guy, she soon finds herself connecting with Levi in a way that catches her completely off guard. In quiet moments, he doesn’t seem larger than life at all—but she can’t forget how different their worlds are. And a small, stubborn part of her can’t stop wondering if his interest in a small-town single mother could truly be real.
Meanwhile, Eleanor prepares for a visit from her son Jeremy, both excited and nervous for him to get to know Garrett. Anthony plans a big surprise for Diana, recruiting Eloise’s help. And Miriam makes a vulnerable confession to the ladies of the book club.
Lose yourself in the soft waves and blue skies of Magnolia Shore, a small fictional town nestled along the Massachusetts coastline. This hopeful and heartfelt women’s fiction story celebrates fresh starts, found family, and the connections that make life richer and more meaningful.

Fiona Baker deftly focuses on family ties and romance among people of all ages. This story highlights widowed June Caldwell, her son Benjamin and new resident, Levi Hawkins, a famed country singer. Book store owner Eleanor is worried about her son Jeremy meeting her boyfriend Garrett. Shop owner Diana is upset about her beau Anthony and his daughter Eloise's sudden "distance" from her. I love following the characters in Magnolia Shore and seeing the progression that comes with each book. The plots are always beautiful and positive. I simply love this series.
