From award-winning author Kirsten Pursell, Finding Scarlet is a coming-of-middle-age romance about self-discovery, friendship, and starting over after divorce. It is the first novel in The Scarlet's Harlots Trilogy, a series centered on women reinventing themselves later in life.

After a thirty-year marriage ends, Scarlet leaves behind the familiar and the expectations shaped by too many Nicholas Sparks novels to reinvent herself on Sullivan's Island, South Carolina.

Divorce offers her a rare opportunity: a clean slate, far from the reminders of a life that no longer fits. Seeking connection, Scarlet joins a divorced women's book club and quickly learns that new beginnings come with unexpected complications. When she reveals her past, judgment is swift, forcing her to confront who she wants to become.

As her dormant desires awaken, Scarlet finds herself torn between Ben, an attractive younger man who reignites her confidence, and Beau, a self-assured, age-appropriate man who offers the possibility of something deeper. But when the man who nearly broke her resurfaces, Scarlet must decide whether she's truly ready to move forward or still tethered to the past.

Set against the charm of Sullivan's Island, Finding Scarlet is an emotionally rich novel about love after divorce, second chances in midlife, and the courage it takes to begin again in your fifties.
