A famous sealife artist with survivors guilt, a divorced resort owner with a guarded heart meet on the romantic shores of Windswept Bay, can love heal their wounds?
Hurt by her failed marriage and dashed dreams, Cali Sinclair returns home to Windswept Bay with her heart wary and closed to the dreams of true love she so desperately wanted. Determined to never again risk her heart, she throws … to never again risk her heart, she throws herself into running the family’s small boutique resort on the Florida coast, a place so full of romance that it’s a reminder every day of what she’ll never have. But when renowned artist Grant Ellington shows up to paint a mural on the wall of the resort, she’s swept away by her response to the artist. Suddenly, every time he looks at her, Cali finds it harder than she ever thought possible to keep her heart protected.
Grant Ellington loves his ranch, his horses, and his life as a sought-after artist. But after walking away from a plane crash that killed his best friend and the young pilot, he’s still struggling with survivor’s guilt as he heads to Windswept Bay. Painting a sea life mural at the resort started out as a favor to his neighbor, but one meeting with the beautiful Cali and he feels alive again—and determined to spend time on the moonlit beaches with her in his arms…
But, like him, Cali has her own emotional scars—can they learn to trust the love that sparks between them and move forward from this moment on?
Like the sweet music of a love song, Windswept Bay has a magic of its own and on moonlit nights and sun bronzed days love is in the air. Debra Clopton’s heartwarming series will sweep you away to romance that leaves your heart thumping with the satisfaction of pure heartwarming romance.

From This Moment On by Debra Clopton
Windswept Bay Series Book One
Grant Ellington is stepping out of his reclusive state after six months. After a plane crash that took the lives of two of his friends, he stayed on his ranch. Keeping his feet on solid ground. Until now. His friend and neighbor asked a favor of him. To paint some murals for his sisters’ resort. He’d said yes, not knowing if he could still use his talents or not.
Cali Sinclair was happy working with two of her sisters at their island resort. The only one out of nine children to marry—and she had failed at that. She didn’t need another man…ever. She had found peace once again at Windswept Bay. Her home.
The beautiful island surroundings has brought peace to Cali’s life and the island…and Cali…are doing the same for Grant. This is the first book in this series and I’ll be biting at the bit for the next books. I really enjoyed this. And even though Grant is an artist and on a beach—he still has his cowboy roots and heart.

It was a beautiful story. I love Debra’s writing and she knocked out of the park on this one.
Not impressed. Easy to put down!
I could not put this book down until I had finished reading it! Another sweet & clean read in which characters find love in unexpected places. I look forward to reading more in the Windswept Bay series!
I enjoyed this book and have since read others in this series! The characters are well written and very likeable. a good read!
A very romantic story of love at first sight!
Sweet romance from new to me author, Debra Clopton. Two adults, who’ve been through traumatic situations, find they may just have what it takes for the other to heal. Ms. Clopton’s work is very descriptive. I could see Grant’s murals coming to life under his colorful brush strokes, and how he added color to Cali’s life as he tenderly showed her what love should be. Sweet story with fun secondary characters.
I want to read more of her books.
All of Debra Clopton’s books are very easy and hard to put down after you begin one of her dedicated writings with spiritual, uplifting messages. thank you for sharing.
Quick good read! Enjoyed every moment and want to be friends with the characters!
