At fifty, Alice Adams isn’t looking for love. Nor is she
looking for a new home. She’s settled into widowhood and
anticipating the arrival of her only daughter’s first child. Then
she meets Leighton Walker, and love turns her world upside down.
Giddy like an infatuated teenager, Alice finds herself wanting to
spend as much time as possible with the man who shares so many of
her interests. But Leighton Walker is settled into his own life on
the coast, with family and business needs over a hundred and fifty
miles from Alice’s secure world. Can Leighton overcome distance,
his family’s skepticism, and the conniving efforts of a long-time
friend to claim him for her own? Or will the sea beckon him to
retain his normal life and refuse a second chance at at love?
