Twenty-five years ago, Joanna Johnson fled her hometown of Rivers End, leaving behind her best friend, her first love, and a dark secret. When a mysterious letter arrives, she’s forced to confront the past she’s tried so hard to forget...

Returning to the picturesque coastal town, Joanna is drawn back into the world she left behind. Walking along the sandy stretch of beach below her aunt’s cottage in Willow Bay, the memories come flooding back of all the dreams she cherished until betrayal and a stormy night at sea tore them apart. When she runs into her first love, Lucas, now a single father, Joanna feels a spark between them once more. Can she dare to rekindle a relationship she thought lost forever?

When pieces of an old shipwreck begin washing ashore, the answer might be made for her... As the yacht surfaces, bringing Joanna’s secrets with it, can she find the courage to trust Lucas with the truth about the night she ran? Or will holding on to the past force her to leave Rivers End behind once again...?

The Secrets of Willow Bay is a captivating tale of second chances, forgiveness, and the enduring power of friendship. Perfect for fans of Barbara O’Neal, Mary Alice Monroe and Debbie Macomber, this emotional journey will have you believing in the magic of new beginnings.
