Love, Louisa is a heartfelt, uplifting story of heartbreak, resilience, and the courage to rebuild your life on your own terms--perfect for readers craving emotional depth, humor, and small-town coastal charm.
A perfect summer romance! Jilted at the altar, Louisa trades her designer heels for flip-flops and a fresh start in a forgotten beach town--but can she rebuild her life when her past won't let go? When Louisa's fiancé leaves her standing alone at the altar, her carefully constructed Manhattan life shatters in an instant. With nowhere else to turn, she retreats to her family's rundown summer cottage in Paumonok Harbor, determined to piece herself back together--one leaky roof and overgrown garden at a time. Armed with a rescue dog named Galahad and a fierce resolve to never depend on anyone again, Louisa begins to carve out a new existence far from the judgmental whispers of the city. But starting over isn't as simple as she hoped, especially when her ex keeps showing up, the locals are skeptical, and the gruff handyman next door makes her heart race in ways she swore she'd never allow again. Can Louisa let go of the past and trust her heart again--or will fear keep her from the life she truly deserves? Perfect for fans of Elin Hilderbrand, Dorothea Benton Frank, and Nancy Thayer. Readers who enjoyed small town coastal romance and summer beach reads will fall in love with this uplifting story of starting over after betrayal and embracing new beginnings.Author Biography
