author: Legare, Kate
description: The widow of an NFL legend. A new start in a picturesque seaside town…Jacy Pruitt has lived a life more heartbreaking (and yet charmed) than even the most melodramatic of soap operas— the kind of life only someone like Erica Kane could commiserate with.Jacy became a widow when the love of her life, Richard Ricky Pruitt, multi-Super Bowl winning global superstar quarterback and father of their five children, died under tragic circumstances right before he was supposed to retire, and they were going to finally start their lives together.Years later, still in pain from her loss, she ended up remarried to the wrong kind of man, all while alienating her grieving grown-up children.Life was a mess for a while, and it seemed like the world was watching and waiting for the widow of an American football hero to fall apart.But now, fresh from a less-than-amicable divorce, Jacy is looking for a clean slate and a fresh start.And that clean break involves a beautiful new home on the shores of Shimmering Sands, Florida.As soon as she moves into town though, the drama follows— thanks to her kids. They're going through their own romantic and life entanglements, and they need their momma to help them through it.To get her mind off her kids' shenanigans, Jacy takes on a job as a columnist for the popular local newspaper's column, Seaside Confession, where residents in town submit anonymous admissions of trouble they've found themselves in and advice on how to get out of it.But when Jacy gets a confession about an unsolved crime from long ago linked to her own past, things heat up fast.Shimmering Sands was supposed to be where Jacy found her peace. But now she's wondering if it could be the place where she can also find her closure.
