Dorothy Cannell: Sea Glass Summer (2014)

From the Publisher:
Recovering from a painful divorce, Sarah Draycott has moved to the picturesque village of Sea Glass on the Maine coast for a fresh start. And it's not long before she becomes immersed in the lives of her charming and eccentric new neighbours: the irrepressible 90-year-old Nellie Armitage; the elegant but troubled widow Gwen; and precocious 9-year-old orphan Oliver, whose grandfather's ill-health has forced him to move into the mysterious Cully Mansion with his aloof, disapproving uncle and aunt.

As Sarah finds herself increasingly caught up in the lives of the Sea Glass residents, she finds her broken heart beginning to heal. She certainly isn't looking for new romance - but love finds a way of seeking someone out just when they least expect it...

"Combining elements of mystery, romance, and a ghost story, this thoroughly enjoyable tale will appeal to readers of Angela Thirkell and Robyn Carr" -- Library Journal
"A sweet contemporary romance" -- Publishers Weekly
