"Love is a messy thing. That
hopelessly devoted, deep-in-your-bones kind of love we used
to dream about when we were kids—it turns out that it’s
hard. It aches. It takes time. Like a house that weathers
the ages, it must be built, brick by brick."
Snarky and ambitious Dawn Campbell almost had it all: a job
producing lavish celebrity events, a hip downtown apartment,
and a studmuffin of a boyfriend. But after losing all three
in one fell swoop, Dawn finds herself resorting to the
unimaginable: returning home to Bridgeport, an oceanside
town where the air smells sweet but not much happens.
When a chance encounter brings her into the sturdy arms of
John Brown, her childhood best friend, old feelings come
rushing back. As the sparks fly, life finally starts to look
up for Dawn...until she meets his wife.
Marguerite Brown has everything that Dawn doesn’t: a killer
fashion sense, a breathtaking beauty, and a French
accent—oh, and the kind of temperament that makes great
white sharks seem docile in comparison. Determined to
release John from an unhappy marriage, Dawn turns on the
charm and makes a plan to finally win back her
one-that-got-away.
But after Dawn stumbles upon a secret that, up until now,
Marguerite has meticulously kept hidden, the two women are
thrust into an unexpected friendship. An Imaginary House by
the Sea follows Dawn’s journey towards self-rediscovery,
finding purpose, and building a more complex, steadfast kind
of love than she could have ever imagined.
