Set on a charming North Carolina island, the latest novel in national bestselling author Rochelle Alers’ unforgettable, heartfelt Book Club series tells of one woman whose past comes calling—even as a new beginning beckons. Perfect for fans of warm, sexy, community-oriented fiction featuring diverse, multicultural characters in the vein of Tracey Livesay, Sherryl Woods and Brenda Jackson.

Cherie Renee Thompson is finally ready to dive into change. After two summers vacationing on Coates Island, she’s now a permanent resident, studying to be a teacher, and has formed invaluable friendships with two remarkable women, Kayana and Leah. Their summer book club, which meets weekly at the Seaside Café, has taught Cherie to seize the day. And as the ex-mistress of a powerful politician consistently unable to commit, Cherie is determined not to waste any more time—or try romance again…

When Cherie meets new sheriff and ex-army veteran Reese Matthews, there’s an immediate, undeniable spark between them. For his part, Reese has survived ongoing loss and believes that Cherie is as open and uncomplicated as she appears—until her former flame returns. Free of his responsibilities, he’s offering Cherie the luxurious life he always promised…

Now, in a summer of glowing potential, tranquil days, and book club meetings filled with insight and caring, Cherie must weigh past dreams against new chances, search her heart for what’s real—and what will fulfill her most.

Praise for Along the Shore

Praise for Rochelle Alers​

"Alers skillfully brings together two confident, middle-aged lead characters, a rare feat for the romance genre. Their banter and the mouth-watering food descriptions will have readers dreaming of having their own adventures in New Orleans." —Booklist on Breakfast in Bed

“Alers doesn’t gloss over baggage that comes with mature love in this second-chance romance.” —Library Journal on The Beach House

“The second book in the Book Club series by popular and prolific African American author Alers following The Seaside Café…Novels by Tracey Livesay, Brenda Jackson, and Reese Ryan offer other steamy romances featuring affluent multicultural characters.” —Booklist on The Beach House

"A novel that resembles female-bonding romance series like The Bride Quartet by Nora Roberts...Capitalizing on its assets: the sensuous Big Easy setting and the rarely encountered middle-age romance." —Kirkus Reviews on The Inheritance
 
"Mature, realistic protagonists, a plethora of family and friends, and a well-researched and thoughtful story that skillfully straddles the line between romance and women's fiction beautifully sets the stage for this fascinating series to come." —Library Journal on The Inheritance
 
"Engaging and entertaining...a wonderful journey of four women who go from unemployed to best friends to innkeepers." —Romance in Color on The Bridal Suite
