"There is absolutely nothing I love more than discovering a new-to-me author . . . Amy Clipston is one of those discoveries." --Sherryl Woods, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Sweet Magnolias series

"Readers won't be able to resist this." --Publishers Weekly

Welcome to the Sunshine Inn, a picturesque coastal inn with sweeping views and two new owners who couldn't be more opposite. From bestselling author Amy Clipston comes a no spice, grumpy/sunshine romance perfect for fans of Anne-Marie Meyer and RaeAnne Thayne.

Two polar opposites, one cozy inn--and one sweet and surprising chance at unlikely love.

When Everleigh Hartnett, a cheerful traveling NICU nurse who can't sit still, inherits half of her godmother's beloved seaside bed-and-breakfast, she dreams of selling the place to fund the nonprofit she and her godmother always envisioned. But there's one tiny problem: her new co-owner. Rugged, grumpy, and fiercely loyal to the inn, Cade Witherspoon isn't about to let his peaceful life--and his new start--be sold off so easily.

Everleigh and Cade are opposites in every way. She's sunshine and laughter, while he's all rough edges and quiet brooding. Their clash of wills over the inn soon has them wondering what on earth Everleigh's godmother was thinking when she left them both in charge.

As Everleigh gets to know Cade's softer side--and Cade finds himself drawn to Everleigh's optimism and kindness--their disagreement over the inn becomes something sweeter. But with the arrival of Cade's long-lost brother and the looming threat of a developer sniffing around the property, they'll have to make some hard choices--together.

Can Everleigh and Cade let go of their expectations and build something lasting together? Or will the Sunshine Inn be the place they both leave behind?

Second Chance at Sunshine Inn by bestselling novelist Amy Clipston is a heartwarming, standalone romance, which features the grumpy/sunshine trope and a charming small-town setting that's Netflix's Falling Inn Love meets Debbie Macomber set in a seaside bed-and-breakfast. This book delivers all the emotions and butterflies, leaving out the explicit scenes.

  • Grumpy/sunshine

Critic Reviews

'Amy Clipston masterfully weaves the grumpy-sunshine trope with a setting so charming you'll want to book a stay yourself. Readers will fall for Cade and Everleigh's undeniable chemistry, their emotional journey, and the delightful nod to Sweet Home Alabama. SECOND CHANCE AT SUNSHINE INN is a feel-good, swoon worthy story that will leave you smiling long after the last page.'
'Amy Clipston's SECOND CHANCE AT SUNSHINE INN is like a warm hug on a rainy day. With relatable characters, tender emotions, and a charming seaside setting, this story of two strangers brought together by an unexpected inheritance will tug at your heartstrings. It's a beautiful reminder that love and second chances often appear when you least expect them.'
'Clipston (WITH THIS RING) sets this charming romance against the idyllic backdrop of Coral Cove, N.C. . . . Clipston builds the chemistry between gruff Cade and chipper, can-do Everleigh through a satisfying mix of flirty exchanges and revealing conversations as the two work to untangle their problems and, with the aid of their faith, find their way to one another. Readers won't be able to resist this.'
