Reeling from the sudden death of her identical twin, widow Lexie Graham escapes to the seaside town of Pelican Crossing, hoping to find comfort, healing, and a chance to make a fresh start.

Phil Cook, owner of the Pelican Crossing yacht club, is also at a crossroads as he considers retirement. Divorced for over thirty years, he has no intention of risking his heart again, choosing instead to devote his time to the club and his longtime friends.

Neither Lexie nor Phil is looking for a new relationship. But when Lexie buys the cottage next door and they realise how much they have in common, friendship begins to grow between them.

Then another tragedy threatens to unravel Lexie’s hard-won peace. As Phil supports her through it, both are forced to ask whether the bond growing between them is simply friendship—or could lead to something deeper

About Maggie Christensen

After a career in education, Maggie Christensen began writing contemporary women’s fiction portraying mature women facing life-changing situations, and historical fiction set in her native Scotland. Her travels inspire her writing, be it her trips to visit family in Scotland, in Oregon, USA or her home on Queensland’s beautiful Sunshine Coast. Maggie writes of mature heroines coming to terms with changes in their lives and the heroes worthy of them. Maggie has been called the queen of mature age fiction and her writing has been described by one reviewer as like a nice warm cup of tea. It is warm, nourishing, comforting and embracing.

From the small town in Scotland where she grew up, Maggie was lured to Australia by the call to ‘Come and teach in the sun’. Once there, she worked as a primary school teacher, university lecturer and in educational management. Now living with her husband of over thirty years on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast, she loves walking on the deserted beach in the early mornings and having coffee by the river on weekends. Her days are spent surrounded by books, either reading or writing them – her idea of heaven!
