Seaside Pictures takes the small-town coastal setting of Van Dyken’s original Seaside series and adds Hollywood glamour. Published between 2015 and 2020, the seven books follow actors, musicians, and media figures who find themselves in a quiet beach town where their fame does not carry the same weight.
The contrast between celebrity life and small-town simplicity gives these romances a built-in source of conflict and humor. Van Dyken uses the setting effectively, creating stories where characters have to be themselves rather than their public personas.
