Resilience After Dark

About the book

Opportunities for a fresh start often come when least expected...

Cindy Lawry is in need of a new roommate after her sister, Julia, moved in with her fiancé, Deacon. Unable to find anyone suitable, she decides to put up flyers at the Curl Up & Dye salon where she works as a hair stylist and around town. With summer coming to an end, living alone is not an option for her, and moving in with her mother and stepfather is not ideal. Despite her reservations stemming from a difficult upbringing, she embarks on the roommate search.

Jace Carson is also on the hunt for a new place to live, as the employee housing at the Beachcomer is no longer a fit for him. As a father who values his time with his sons, he simply wants a quiet space to call home between shifts at the Beachcomber bar. Little does he know that when he reaches out to a number given by a friend, Cindy - the woman he's been flirting with at the bar - is on the other end. Despite enjoying her company, he wonders if living together is a wise decision, especially when his thoughts are consumed by the desire to kiss her.

As autumn descends upon Gansett Island, its residents prepare for the impending winter. Join in the celebration of the 25th installment of the Gansett Island Series, and revisit beloved characters while witnessing Cindy and Jace confront their past traumas that threaten their chance at lasting happiness.
