About this ebook

The shell she gave away saved him. Now it might save her.

After her Manhattan career implodes, Wendi Parker returns to Hadley Cove with her rescue dog, Max, and last of her savings to open The Painted Shell—an art store now weeks away from closing its doors forever.

Miles Dalton arrives in town after his father's Alzheimer's worsens, never expecting to meet a shop owner whose dog inexplicably adores his dad. Neither realizes their connection began decades ago, when a grieving boy received a "magic" shell from a kindhearted girl.

As their romance blooms, disaster strikes, forcing Miles to confront his deepest fear while Wendi faces losing everything.

When the fallout settles, will their shared past be enough to bring them together—or will it tear them apart for good?

Ratings and reviews

loved it.... the story just flowed so well.... you wanted to keep on reading to the end but at the same time you didn't want it to end. And then you wanted more!

A very sweet, very enjoyable story easy enough to read in one go.

Such an endearing story. Loved the unfolding of the plot. Enjoyed it so much.
