        MERMAIDS on Hatteras Island? Hmm

​

     Caroline Woodard, a publicist from Washington, D.C., finds out about mermaids while on vacation on North Carolina’s Hatteras Island. As she crosses the threshold of her family’s rustic cottage, she is transported into a world of generations and traditions dating back to 1939 that challenge her beliefs.

     Caroline’s client, Senator Colton Jameson, is not only the front runner in the upcoming presidential election, but they also had a past. A past he wants to be the future. Her heart will take her on a journey like a rogue wave when she bumps into charismatic Dillan at the local coffee shop.

     Dressed in vintage costumes, the sisterhood gathers under the beams of the full-blood moon to celebrate Caroline joining the family tradition as the flames of the bonfire reach for the stars. As they place the vintage crown of shells on her head, they reveal her mermaid name.

Soon after, the magic whispers in the balmy breezes of Hatteras begin.

REVIEWS!

"I just want to say I loved The Beach Heart Cottage can’t wait for the sequel coming in September. This book was magical, and fun and made me smile. It contains something for everyone to read a little mystery, excitement, heartfelt, dazzling, and sadness. The characters were extraordinary people each person fit into the story perfectly. Just a few thoughts. "

"When I read Beach Heart Cottage, I felt like I was on Hatteras (Island?) having my own family traditions. I related to the heroine and was rooting for her through the whole book. Diana has a way of describing the characters in a way that makes you think it's a true story. Such detail and always that bit of comic relief. I fell in love with all of them. This book is a must have for your beach bag. I'd read it again when I go on vacation!! To where else but the beach!!"
