Seaside Sisters opens with The Last Goodbye, which follows Dominic Dunn, a widower still carrying grief from his wife’s death, who meets Ireland Cohen, a single mother with a ten-year-old son. That first book sets the emotional register for the whole series: loss is real here, and the romance has to earn its happy ending rather than arriving on schedule.
The series follows Ireland and her sisters across five books, all published in 2020, each centered on a different relationship. The North Carolina coastal setting — drawn from Kay Lyons Stockham’s own home in Wilmington — gives the series a genuine sense of place, with the rhythm of beach-town life running through the background of every story.
