Bayside Escape
Synopsis
Two years ago, Violet Vancroft was a nomadic artist who never wanted to put down roots, and Andre Shaw was a prominent Boston physician whose roots ran too deep to ever pull free. Their love never stood a chance, or so Violet believed when a desperate plea for help arrived from the sister she had never really known. Rather than say goodbye, she slipped away in the night, walking out on the only man she had ever loved to rescue the sister she had been separated from. In the years since, Andre has traveled the world building new medical clinics, while Violet has finally found the family she always craved and the roots she never knew she wanted. When these star-crossed former lovers are drawn back together, they must reckon with the choices that tore them apart and the feelings that never truly faded. Set against the sandy beaches and small towns of Cape Cod, this is an emotional, sensual second-chance love story about two people who gave each other up for very different reasons, and who now have to decide whether the lives they have built leave any room for the love they lost.
