title: The Beach House
author: Hale, Jenny
description: An absolutely gorgeous and heartwarming read about finding love where you least expect it, new beginnings, and how family is always with you, no matter where you are. Fans of Susan Mallery, Pamela Kelley, and Mary Alice Monroe will adore this romantic page-turner.
  When her gram passes away,
  Melanie Simpson
  feels utterly lost. But her grandmother’s will gives her a purpose: an inheritance to buy a crumbling house in Rosemary Bay. They used to visit the village every summer, sit by the sparkling water on a beach the color of pearl, and daydream about turning the place on the corner into a bed and breakfast.
  On her first night in her new hometown, Melanie meets local contractor and landowner
  Josh Claiborne
  , whose eyes match the dazzling sea. Melanie plans to restore the beach house to its original glory, and Josh is the perfect person to help renovate the wrap-around porch weathered by the coastal breeze and the peeling white paint faded by the sun.
  But hiding in a closet is a yellowing stack of letters that could change everything. The looping handwriting reveals the mystery of the rickety house––a buried history that touches everyone in Rosemary Bay. Will its secrets bring Melanie and Josh together or tear them apart?

  The Beach House
   will be
  your favourite read this summer!
   The only downfall to reading this book is that
  you’ll get nothing else done until you finish it!
  It’s a small price to pay for a good story!…
  Difficult to put down!
  
  I was sad when it ended!
