Introduction

Their letters could lead to lasting love . . . or expose Sabrina's mortifying secret.

Sabrina Kincaid didn't intend to fall for Nantucket native Tucker McCabe, the man she serves coffee to every morning-a man tied to a past she deeply regrets. But she has. And she's fallen hard.

But she's kept this a secret from her handsome customer. And now Tucker wants to hire Sabrina to help locate his friend "Sweetpea"-the mysterious woman he's falling in love with online. Sabrina is not inclined to help, but if Tucker hires someone else, it could spell disaster. Because if someone else sifted through the emails and figured out the truth-then Tucker would discover that the person he's trying to find is . . . her.

Notes From the Author to the Bookclub

Dear Bookclubbers:

Letters is about a woman who's hiding. Hiding from love, hiding from God. We all hide sometimes, and I wanted to explore the reasons we hide, the methods we use, and the extent to which we might go.

When I considered how to show a character who's hiding, I thought, what better way to hide in our world than behind a computer? Seeing as how You've Got Mail is my favorite movie, the idea held a lot of appeal. Though Seaside Letters involves soul mates who bond online, that is where the similarities between my book and the movie end. It was great fun to put my own special twist on the concept!
