Welcome to MacLeod's Cove, a picturesque coastal village on New Zealand's Kāpiti Coast where the MacLeod family has weathered generations of storms—both literal and emotional. Set against the dramatic backdrop of rolling hills, pristine beaches, and the iconic pohutukawa trees that bloom scarlet each summer, this close-knit community becomes a sanctuary for those seeking second chances.

In this heartwarming series, each book follows a different member of the MacLeod family as they navigate life's challenges while discovering that home isn't just a place—it's where you find the courage to heal, grow, and love again. From the rambling colonial cottage that has sheltered the family for nearly a century to Lucy's bustling café that serves as the village's social heart, MacLeod's Cove is a place where neighbors become family and the past holds secrets that shape the future.

Whether you're drawn to multigenerational family sagas, small-town community dynamics, or tales of personal transformation, the MacLeod's Cove series offers the perfect escape to a world where healing is possible and new beginnings are always within reach.

A Second Spring at MacLeod's Cove

The MacLeod's Cove series begins with A Second Spring at MacLeod's Cove:

She's spent her life being needed—but what happens when she wants to be loved instead?

Three months after losing her disabled brother, teacher Megan Thompson is learning to live for herself for the first time. Single father Ryan Williams is barely keeping his head above water raising two young boys alone. When their worlds collide in the coastal village of MacLeod's Cove, they discover that being needed isn't the same as being loved—and sometimes the most beautiful springs come after the longest winters.

A tender story of grief, healing, and the courage to love again.
