September: 4

Small town women's fiction with romance at its core, following a devoted nurse whose private longing for a child tests the marriage she treasures. Warm and emotionally raw, exploring infertility, coastal community bonds, marital strain, and family built rather than born. There’s a baby boom in the small town of Bluff’s Cove! CeCe Macnamara has spent years caring for everyone but herself. As a dedicated ER nurse, a loyal friend and a fiercely loving wife, she’s the steady one in Bluff’s Cove. But beneath her cheerful exterior lies a heartbreak she can’t ignore. While everyone around her seems to be expecting, CeCe and her husband, Carl, have faced nothing but disappointment in their struggle to become parents. Hoping for a chance at the family she longs for, CeCe agrees to one demanding round of fertility treatment, bracing herself for the emotional toll it may take. But during a seemingly ordinary shift in the ER, something unexpected happens—something that forces CeCe to question everything she thought she knew about what makes a family. As she and Carl navigate hope, fear and the painful possibility of another loss, CeCe must find the courage to follow her heart, even when the path ahead is uncertain. Always Us, Book Four of The Seasons of Us, is a deeply emotional story about love, resilience and the families we fight to build.
