Beacon Bluff: The Returning Tide Book One
Some places are only visited.
Beacon Bluff is returned to.
Perched above the Carolina coast, seven weathered cottages line a quiet bluff overlooking the Atlantic, connected by a winding pebblestone road, generations of tradition, and seven families who have gathered there every Fourth of July for more than forty years. Children grow up together. Friendships span generations. Every porch holds a story, and every summer feels like coming home.
Until one summer... it doesn't.
As old memories begin to surface, quiet conversations grow quieter still. Long-protected secrets refuse to stay buried, and the summer of 1998-a year no one seems willing to discuss-casts an unexpected shadow over the families who believed they knew one another better than anyone else ever could.
At Beacon Bluff, some stories have been lovingly passed from one generation to the next. Others have been carefully protected for a lifetime. And some secrets have waited patiently for someone brave enough to uncover them.
Rich with unforgettable characters, seaside charm, family traditions, gentle humor, and a mystery that deepens with every page, Beacon Bluff: The Returning Tide is the first novel in a heartwarming mystery series about family, belonging, forgiveness, and the perfectly kept secrets that can shape generations.
