Bluebird Bay

Celia Burrows thought she had it all-a handsome husband, two successful children, and a gorgeous beach house on the Northern coast of Maine. But her perfect life cracks apart when her husband of thirty years informs her that he's leaving. In a note. And since problems come in threes, her adult children reveal they've both been struggling with issues of their own. Before the separation, Celia was the main caretaker for her elderly father, but as her sisters step up to help in the wake of her troubles, neither of them takes to the role. Being tethered in Bluebird Bay is a nightmare for Anna, the youngest, whose passion for travel photography has taken her around the world. And Stephanie has struggled ever since her husband died in a freak boating accident a couple of years ago. As Celia begins to come to terms with her own shocking loss, she's surprised to feel a giddy sense of freedom. For thirty years, she's buried her own dreams in support of her husband's vision. But that was the past. It's time to pick herself up, dust herself off, and create a better, more fulfilling tomorrow. Now, if only she can convince the people she loves to do the same . . .

Anna Sullivan has spent the last thirty years traveling solo around the world as a nature photographer, and she's loved every minute of it. But suddenly, the nights seem long and lonely, and she looks forward to her trips away from Bluebird, Maine and her sisters, Cee-cee and Steph, less and less. When a cruel twist of fate brings her back home, Anna reevaluates everything in her life. Can she find happiness in the town she's spent a lifetime running away from?

Stephanie Ketterman has been doing her level-best to find a new normal since her beloved husband's tragic death two years ago, but it's been a real struggle. After nearly three decades of wedded bliss with Paul, filling the gaping hole he left behind seems impossible. How can she look forward to her future when her heart is firmly stuck in the past? But when she begins to find evidence of secret trysts and cryptic notes written shortly before his death, she's forced to re-examine everything. What if perfect wasn't so perfect after all?

Come spend some time with the Sullivan sisters and their families in Bluebird Bay... Max Burrows thought she'd finally found "the one." But when Tyler gets the opportunity of a lifetime and leaves Bluebird Bay for Paris, she can't bring herself to join him. She worked like a dog to make her own dream come true by opening the bookstore, and she won't give that up. Not for Tyler. Not for anyone. So, when she gets a notice from the new landlord that her shop's lease is being terminated? It's like the rug has been yanked out from under her, yet again. Rather than curl up and accept her fate, she makes it her mission to get Ian Thackery to change his mind, no matter what it takes. As she gets to know him, though, she finds he's more than just the devil incarnate, intent on ruining her life. He's also funny, charming, smart, and way too handsome for her own good. She might be in deeper than she thought... Max found love before and lost it. Will she find forever this time?

Sasha's secret is finally out... And Gabe isn't taking it well. With a baby on the way, they have to figure out how to make their marriage work, but after all the lies, the trust is gone. Can Gabe find it in his heart to forgive her, or will their brand-new marriage crumble before it even gets off the ground? Meanwhile, the Sullivan sisters are trying to pick up the pieces after Pop's death. Stephanie passes off the veterinary clinic to her son, Todd, so she can grieve. Cee-cee tries to be strong, but she's unraveling at the seams. And Anna? She just wants to run away and forget for awhile. But all bets are off when a stranger comes to Bluebird Bay and changes everything...

Todd Sullivan has been working his tail off to make his mother's veterinary clinic the best it's ever been so she can enjoy her retirement, but he's burning the candle at both ends to do it. When he gets a request for a house call, he thinks it's all in a day's work . . . until he walks into a cottage of horrors. Not only is it packed to the gills like an episode of Hoarders, it also comes complete with a cranky parrot named Barnaby who would sooner pluck his eyes out than trust Todd to help him. The most disturbing part, though? The apparent owner of the home, Alice. She's young, beautiful, and amazingly talented. She's also the last kind of distraction he needs right now. How is he supposed to work seventy hours a week to ensure his mother's legacy is intact when every waking thought is of a curly-haired, dark-eyed woman who has all but bewitched him? As Todd tries to balance his career with his love life, Cee-cee is busy trying to figure out what in the world is going on with her ex-husband, Nate. He's been acting very strange, and it's upsetting their daughter, Max. No matter how many times she tries to get him to confide in her, though, he refuses. When it becomes clear that he's in trouble, she wants to help . . . but at what price?

Cee-cee and Mick are madly in love but have been putting their wedding on the back burner because life keeps getting in the way. Well, no more! She is going to get her man down that aisle, come hell OR high water. But when the fates throw both at them all at once, she starts to wonder if they're ever going to get their happily ever after. Maryanne Carpenter Brown has never been lucky in love and is about ready to throw in the towel on finding it when she meets Alex Orloff. He's not her type, but, Lord, does he make her laugh. Can she change her ways and understand what's truly important in a man, or will she find herself alone yet again? The grit and grime of the big city has done a number on crime journalist, Fallyn Rappaport. She needs to wipe the slate clean in more ways than one, and Bluebird Bay is just the place to do it. But when she stumbles across the diary of a girl who went missing decades before, she realizes that even quaint, seaside towns can harbor secrets . . .
