Welcome to Moonlight Harbor / by Roberts, Sheila.;
Once happily married, Jenna Jones is about to turn forty, and this year for her birthday--lucky her--she's getting a divorce. She's barely able to support herself and her teenage daughter, but now her deadbeat artist ex is hitting her up for spousal support...and then spending it on his "other" woman. Still, as her mother always says, every storm brings a rainbow. And when she gets a very unexpected gift from her great-aunt Edie, things seem to be taking a turn for the better. Aging Aunt Edie is finding it difficult to keep up her business running The Driftwood Inn, so she invites Jenna to come live with her and run the place. It looks like Jenna's financial problems are solved! Or not. The town is a little more run-down than Jenna remembers, but that's nothing compared to the ramshackle state of The Driftwood Inn. Aunt Edie is confident they can return it to its former glory, though Jenna feels like she's jumped from the proverbial frying pan into the beach fire. But who knows? With the help of her new friends and a couple of handsome citizens, perhaps that rainbow is on the horizon after all. Because no matter what, life is always good at the beach.

An inconvenient wife / by Olson, Karen E.,author.;
"Kate Parker knows what she's getting into when she marries billionaire businessman Hank Tudor-she's his sixth wife, after all, and was by his side (as his assistant) when his fifth marriage to actress Caitlyn Howard fell apart. But honeymoon plans go awry when a headless body is discovered near Hank's summer home, forcing Kate to contend with two more of his exes: Catherine Alvarez-the first-who lives as a shut-in with her computers, carefully following Tudor Enterprises; and Anna Klein-the fourth-who runs a bed-and-breakfast where she and her wife keep a steady eye on things-particularly Hank's children, Lizzie and Teddy. In this clever and suspenseful reimagining of Tudor era betrayals, these three women become entwined in a deadly game of cat and mouse-with each other, Hank, and Hank's brilliant fixer, Tom Cromwell-as Kate seeks to solve the puzzle of who the murdered woman is, who killed her, and whether her death has any connection to the other headless body from eight years ago"--

Yours, mine, ours / by Moriarty, Sinéad,author.;
Things are finally looking up for Anna. Seventeen miserable years of marriage to man-child Connor have left her drained and ready for a new start. So when they separate, she couldn't be more thrilled to move in with James, a handsome lecturer who is everything her ex-husband is not: kind, thoughtful, and above all, reliable. But Anna and James's kids hate living with the loved-up couple and the new set-up. Their teenage daughters--one a studious high achiever and the other a cool rich girl unbothered by grades or exams--have nothing in common. And Anna's wild football-mad nine-year-old son declares war on bookish James. Nobody said step-parenting was easy; Anna and James are about to find out exactly how complicated it can be. With exes, new partners-of-exes and money all in the mix, home life is fast becoming a minefield and their new-found happiness hangs in the balance. Do they have what it takes to make their blended family work?
