Forty-something Gracelyn Glock is living the dream.
No husband.
No retirement plan.
And since her self-imposed man-ban—no need to shave above her knees.
After a tragic accident, Gracelyn inherits her ten-year-old nephew. She signs a lease on a San Diego beach house and learns their neighbors for the summer are a sexy anatomy professor and his young daughter.
Professor Nathaniel Hunt has spent the last decade being a single dad … and not having sex.
So when he discovers Gracelyn has a peculiar outdoor stripping ritual, a million inappropriate thoughts fill his responsible mind.
This is a standalone love story ... BUT ... if you've read Jewel's Transcend duet, you will remember Nathaniel. I suggest you read the other two books first, because Nate played a HUGE part in that story.
And now here he is again ... to maybe finally find his happily ever after?
He's been widowed for ten years now - his wife died giving birth to their daughter Morgan.
He wasn't planning on ever falling in love again and he's leaving in three months to go back home to Wisconsin ... but there's this woman next door ...
Gracelyn is 41 years old. She just inherited her ten year old nephew Gabe - after her brother and sister-in-law passed away.
She's retired from men and she never planned on having kids after one too many failed attempts at a HEA! And now she has a grumpy pre-teen and a new, very interesting and very hot, neighbor to deal with.
LET THE FUN TIMES BEGIN ...
What will happen with Gracelyn & Nathaniel?
Will there be a HEA???
READ THE BOOK TO FIND OUT! ☺
ADORABLE!
This is not the extremely heartbreaking and slightly supernatural story you might be expecting after reading the other two Transcend books. But it's just as beautiful. Only more of an adorable, later-in-life romantic comedy/dramedy. About two people who long ago gave up believing in happily ever afters.
But of course we also have ALL THE FEELS!
Nate and Morgan are not staying in California - and Grace and Gabe are not leaving! How can we get our happily ever after?!?! GRRR! ☺
I just loved reading this!
Gracelyn and Nate are just perfect for each other. And the kids! They're just hilarious - especially Morgan - ten going on a 50 year old Professor. LOL!
I loved the whole San Diego beach house vibe too - and the adorable old landlord.
I just loved it all. Nothing more to say. I don't want to spoil anything.
Beautiful romance!
Wouldn't mind seeing this on Netflix one day soon!
FORTUITY was such a beautiful & adorable & funny love story! All the feels too! ☺
Run to your nearest amazon for your own Nate - this one is MINE! Hashtag Apple Porn! ☺

Jewel is a free-spirited romance junkie with a quirky sense of humor.
With 10 years of flossing lectures under her belt, she took early retirement from her dental hygiene career to stay home with her three awesome boys and manage the family business.
After her best friend of nearly 30 years suggested a few books from the Contemporary Romance genre, Jewel was hooked. Devouring two and three books a week but still craving more, she decided to practice sustainable reading, AKA writing.
When she’s not donning her cape and saving the planet one tree at a time, she enjoys yoga with friends, good food with family, rock climbing with her kids, watching How I Met Your Mother reruns, and of course…heart-wrenching, tear-jerking, panty-scorching novels.
