Emma by the Sea

A delightful modern-day romance inspired by one of Jane Austen's most beloved novels.

Twenty-five-year-old Emma Wilson, tall, blond, and rich, has an enviable life, but her father's dementia makes it difficult to leave him and their home on Highbury Lane. With her future on hold, Emma turns to her neighbor and confidante, thirty-eight-year-old Dr. Georgia Kostigiris, for advice and comfort and to keep their little world tightly ordered.

All that changes when Georgia's seventeen-year-old niece Cora comes to stay for the summer, invading Highbury Lane with her teen angst, big mouth, and knack for seeing things that Emma wished she wouldn't. Like the way Emma and Georgia lean on each other. And the way Emma's eyes track the sway of Georgia's curving hips. Cora makes it impossible for Emma to ignore her feelings for Georgia, but it's too complicated, and besides, she's certain Georgia doesn't feel the same. That's how she ends up on a date with easy-breezy Bridget, mired in mixed signals.

Emma and Georgia are perfect for each other, but can they build a future when Emma is avoiding the life and love she truly desires?
