Second chance at Sunshine Inn / Amy Clipston.

Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Welcome to the Sunshine Inn, a picturesque coastal inn with sweeping views and two new owners who couldn't be more opposite. From bestselling author Amy Clipston comes a no spice, grumpy/sunshine romance perfect for fans of Anne-Marie Meyer and RaeAnne Thayne.

Two polar opposites, one cozy inn--and one sweet and surprising chance at unlikely love.

When Everleigh Hartnett, a cheerful traveling NICU nurse who can't sit still, inherits half of her godmother's beloved seaside bed-and-breakfast, she dreams of selling the place to fund the nonprofit she and her godmother always envisioned. But there's one tiny problem: her new co-owner. Rugged, grumpy, and fiercely loyal to the inn, Cade Witherspoon isn't about to let his peaceful life--and his new start--be sold off so easily.

Everleigh and Cade are opposites in every way. She's sunshine and laughter, while he's all rough edges and quiet brooding. Their clash of wills over the inn soon has them wondering what on earth Everleigh's godmother was thinking when she left them both in charge.

As Everleigh gets to know Cade's softer side--and Cade finds himself drawn to Everleigh's optimism and kindness--their disagreement over the inn becomes something sweeter. But with the arrival of Cade's long-lost brother and the looming threat of a developer sniffing around the property, they'll have to make some hard choices--together.

Can Everleigh and Cade let go of their expectations and build something lasting together Or will the Sunshine Inn be the place they both leave behind

Second Chance at Sunshine Inn by bestselling novelist Amy Clipston is a heartwarming, standalone romance, which features the grumpy/sunshine trope and a charming small-town setting that's Netflix's Falling Inn Love meets Debbie Macomber set in a seaside bed-and-breakfast. This book delivers all the emotions and butterflies, leaving out the explicit scenes. And it comes with engaging discussion questions, making it a fantastic choice for your next book club pick!

Publishers Weekly Review

Clipston (With This Ring) sets this charming romance against the idyllic backdrop of Coral Cove, N.C. After neonatal nurse Everleigh Harnett discovers she's inherited half of her godmother's North Carolina bed-and-breakfast, she's surprised on returning to the coastal town to learn that brooding Cade Witherspoon--a mysterious man who used to work for her godmother--has inherited the other half. Everleigh wants to sell the property to fund a nonprofit, but Cade's set on keeping the business running. Determined Everleigh moves into the inn in hopes of swaying Cade, but instead becomes enamored with him as he opens up about his troubled past in a fractured family. As Everleigh grapples with her own grief--and struggles to understand why her godmother wanted her to split the property with a stranger--she slowly chips away at guarded Cade's emotional defenses, but when her efforts to help him mend fences with his family go too far and he withdraws, it looks like the budding romance and the inn's future may be headed for ruin. Clipston builds the chemistry between gruff Cade and chipper, can-do Everleigh through a satisfying mix of flirty exchanges and revealing conversations as the two work to untangle their problems and, with the aid of their faith, find their way to one another. Readers won't be able to resist this. (July)
