The Locket at Sandpiper Cottage (Coastal Keepsakes Romance Mysteries)

A hidden locket. An old coastal cottage. A love story the tide never carried away.

When Maggie Bell arrives at Sandpiper Cottage to help prepare the aging home for sale, she expects faded paint, family memories, and a few stubborn repairs. What she does not expect is a silver locket hidden behind an upstairs wall, tucked away with a faded photograph and five words that change everything:

Tell Clara I waited.

For Clara Waverly, the discovery reopens a heartbreak she buried more than sixty years ago. She was told Tommy Vale left Harbor Rose without a word. But the locket suggests another story, one shaped by secrets, silence, and choices made by people who believed they knew what was best.

As Maggie follows the trail through old letters, chapel records, family memories, and long-hidden property papers, she finds herself working alongside Eli Dawson, a steady local contractor whose own family may be tied to the truth hidden inside Sandpiper Cottage.

But someone still wants the past left alone. And as pressure builds to sell the cottage quickly, Maggie must help Clara uncover what really happened before an old sorrow is buried all over again.

Set in a charming fictional coastal town in southeastern North Carolina, The Locket at Sandpiper Cottage is a heartfelt Coastal Keepsakes Romance Mystery filled with gentle romance, light mystery, family secrets, old houses, meaningful keepsakes, and hope.
