A Secret in the Keys
• Coconut Key Book One •
The last thing Beck Foster wants to do is visit her estranged aunt in Coconut Key, Florida, so she nearly tosses Aunt Lovely’s invitation in the trash. One month earlier, Beck’s seemingly ideal existence imploded when her husband of thirty-four years announced he was leaving her. Now, so she has to sell her house, get a job, and somehow put her life back together. She can’t do all that if she attends a “celebration of life” event for a woman she barely remembers. Or can she?
Accompanied by her daughter who’s looking for an escape from a dead-end job and a go-nowhere relationship, Beck heads to the small island near Key West, where she’d lived the earliest years of her life. There, she forges a life-changing relationship with a woman she never really understood, dips her toes into the waters of a new romance, and begins the process of starting over.
But when a secret kept for nearly fifty years comes crashing down on them, all of Beck’s dreams are once again threatened. Can she forgive the lies that have shaped her life, or will the past ruin her chance at a new beginning on Coconut Key?

When tourist season ends, the next one begins…and hurricane season is never easy in the Keys. Especially when the winds have blown in a man who threatens everything Beck has built over the last few months in Coconut Key.
The newest arrival might be the contractor Beck’s been longing to find…but he’s also a man from her past. With his attention on her as much as the B&B renovation, this new twist is equal parts thrilling and terrifying. Beck’s son, Kenny, is working through his own personal trials, and daughter Savannah inches toward a tenuous relationship with her soon-to-be-born baby’s father.
But all eyes turn to the skies as a major hurricane bears down on Coconut Key, bringing everyone together for one unforgettable night of trauma, drama, and close calls. And if they survive what Mother Nature throws at them, what will be left of the life they’ve all been building on the beach?
