Beach Retreat at Turtle Cove

Wishing for the extraordinary. Unhappy at work and unlucky in love. Three friends go on a writing retreat to follow their dreams of becoming authors.



Will a summer on the beach inspire them to finish their novels or are they doomed to return home unchanged and unpublished?



Phoebe is a daydreamer who loves to fall in love. Wearing her heart on her sleeve has left it with scars she would rather forget. When she loses her job and faces turning 35 alone she takes a leap of faith to write the book that she hopes will transform her into a full fledged author.



Violet feels like life has passed her by. Deep into her thirties and all she has to show for it is a depressing job and a history with the wrong kind of men. Phoebe's invitation to the delightful beach town of Turtle Cove could be what Violet needs to change her life, if she dares to take the chance.



Bronwyn thought she had a plan. Be a dedicated wife and mother until she hit 40 then take some time to do what she has always wanted to do, be a famous writer. Turning 40 was easy enough, but when her marriage blows up in her face the day she's supposed to leave for Turtle Cove, Bronwyn must choose between her old life and the life she has always wanted.



Beach Retreat at Turtle Cove is the first book in The Mighty Aphrodite Writing Society single women's fiction series. If you like women-helping-women beach reads with a splash of romance, you will love Darci Balogh's charming tale.
