Welcome to Tranquil Bay, a seaside escape where the ocean mends hearts and old secrets wash ashore.
Grace Tanner thought she had her life mapped out...until her perfect boyfriend proposed and she ran away to her hometown of Tranquil Bay. Now she's determined to renovate her late mother’s historical cottage just long enough to sell it and escape again. But the contractor who shows up with a tool belt and a slow, infuriating grin? It’s Cam Porter, her childhood best friend—the boy she left behind. Between peeling paint, painful memories, and her strained relationship with her father, Grace starts to wonder...maybe the home she’s been searching for isn’t a place at all, but the people she once loved.
Mallory Mason, a young widow in her thirties, traded her fast-paced tech life for the charming B&B she now runs in Tranquil Bay—the same town where she honeymooned with her late husband. She’s built a peaceful life, but she isn’t sure she’s ready to live again. Life...and her new friend Grace Tanner...has a way of nudging her forward. When Conor O’Dell, the celebrity owner of a local bakery, starts flirting with her, she begins to feel something dangerously like hope. But when a voice from her past keeps calling—literally—Mallory must decide if she can let go of the past and find happiness again.
Lila Greer has lived in Tranquil Bay forever, long enough to know that secrets never stay buried. She’s kept one from Grace since they were seventeen—a truth so explosive it cost them their friendship. Now that Grace is back, helping Lila’s mother at the clinic, the secret threatens to surface. And when Ethan Greer, Lila’s real estate agent, soon-to-be ex-husband, suddenly shows interest in Grace, the past isn’t just whispering…it’s roaring. Can the truth finally set them free, or will it destroy everything?
In Tranquil Bay, the surf is soothing, the sunsets are stunning, and second chances drift in on the tide—but every wave brings something new to the shore. Secrets. Heartbreak. Healing. And most of all…hope.
The Tranquil Bay saga continues. Progress is messy, the tides are turning, and the heart rarely heals in a straight line.
Grace Tanner never meant to stay, but somehow the cottage is starting to feel less like a burden and more like a beginning. Her friendship with Cam Porter is shifting into dangerous, confusing territory, and the truth Lila has been hiding casts a shadow over every hopeful step forward. Grace is learning to stand still for the first time in years…but standing still means facing her father and healing wounds she’s spent decades outrunning.
Mallory Mason is rediscovering the rhythm of her own life, one laugh, one late-night bakery delivery, one unexpected flutter at a time. Conor O’Dell may be charming, but trusting joy again feels like its own kind of freefall. And with the past knocking louder than ever, Mallory must choose whether to answer…or finally close the door for good.
Lila Greer is tired of pretending everything’s fine. She's living with the ramifications of the long-held secret, and her unraveling marriage is stretching her composure to the breaking point. Telling the truth might save her soul—but it could cost her the people she’s only just beginning to let back in.
In Tranquil Bay, the winter storms roll in fast, stirring up what everyone hoped had settled. Connections strengthen, forgiveness flickers, and hope finds new footholds—but some tides aren’t ready to turn, and some secrets refuse to stay buried.
The waves are rising. Hearts are changing. And the story isn’t finished—not yet.
Celebrate the holidays in Tranquil Bay, where the yuletide softens old hurts, goodwill ripples along the shoreline, and even the most guarded hearts will open.
Christmas has arrived, and Grace Tanner finds herself caught between the future she’d planned and the one dramatically unfolding around her. Selling Harbor Haven is her path to freedom from the past. Keeping it means putting down roots in the very town she’s spent her adult years avoiding…a town that now includes Cam Porter, whose steady presence and quiet affection make walking away harder than she expected. On top of that, if she stays, she'll have to confront her feelings about her dad. With the holidays warming old memories and her father extending an olive branch, Grace answers the hardest question of all... can she forgive him, or are some grievances too painful to get past?
Mallory Mason’s B&B is glowing with holiday cheer, bustling with guests, decorations, and just enough mischief to make her believe she’s ready to feel alive again. Conor O’Dell is patient, charming, and determined to show her there’s joy beyond grief—but when an unexpected reminder of her past arrives, Mallory must decide whether she’s brave enough to let her heart open for Christmas.
For Lila Greer, the season brings a different kind of miracle. She and Ethan are cautiously rebuilding their marriage, learning to talk instead of retreat, to fight for each other instead of with each other. And with Grace back in town, Lila is slowly stitching together the friendship she once broke, one shaky step toward trust at a time.
Tranquil Bay is marking the holiday with crackling fires, festive markets, and the quiet magic of second chances. Hearts thaw, broken bonds mend, and long-held hopes are wrapped not in perfection, but in possibility.
This Christmas, the greatest gift in Tranquil Bay isn’t what you unwrap…it’s the courage to stay, to forgive, and to begin again.
