Windward Hearts

Slip away to Magnolia Shore, a cozy beachside town whose residents will warm your heart and make you want to revisit over and over!

When the restaurant she works for unexpectedly closes, Hope Landers comes to Magnolia Shore to spend time with her grandmother Miriam, who’s recovering from a bout of pneumonia. She’s happy to be there—and besides, someone has to remind the energetic older woman that rest is a key part of healing.
What Hope didn’t expect is how quickly the town begins to feel like home.
While filling in for Miriam at her book club, Hope quickly bonds with the rest of the ladies, their tight-knit community filling a hole she hadn’t even realized existed in her life. And with so much time on her hands, she finds herself drifting back toward her true passion: quilting, a hobby she’s always loved but never had the courage to pursue seriously.
But the biggest surprise she encounters in the small coastal town? Jared Novak, owner of Riverstone Kitchen and the first man to make her heart skip a beat in a very long time. What starts with lively banter as she stops by to pick up soup for Miriam shifts into something deeper and more meaningful… and slightly more terrifying.
Because Hope never intended to stay in Magnolia Shore. But if she leaves now, will she leave her dreams—and her heart—behind?
Meanwhile, Cadence and Tyler discover that Izzy is struggling at school and work to find out why. And siblings Eleanor and Shane make a bet that leads to a result neither of them were expecting.

Lose yourself in the soft waves and blue skies of Magnolia Shore, a small fictional town nestled along the Massachusetts coastline. This hopeful and heartfelt women’s fiction story celebrates fresh starts, found family, and the connections that make life richer and more meaningful.
