When You Loved Me (USED)

When You Loved Me by Beatriz Williams (USED)

A captivating historical mystery and second-chance romance that weaves together family secrets, pirate legends, and a decades-old love story on the New England coast.

A forgotten treasure. A lost love. A family haunted by the past.

After the death of her estranged father, Lucy Cooper returns to her family's crumbling estate on Winthrop Island with her young daughter, expecting only to settle the property and move on. Instead, she discovers a mountain of debt, unanswered questions surrounding her father's final days, and the return of the one man she never expected to see again.

Ben Ressler was Lucy's first love thirteen summers ago—a rising football star whose arrival forever changed her friendship with her best friend, Laura. Now, after a career-ending tragedy, Ben has returned to the island seeking peace. He's also the last person to see Lucy's father alive.

As Lucy uncovers her father's obsession with the legend of a pirate treasure hidden beneath the historic Cooper estate, she begins piecing together a centuries-old mystery stretching back to the winter of 1717. But someone else is searching for the treasure—and they're willing to do anything to claim it first.

Blending historical fiction, romance, and suspense, When You Loved Me is an unforgettable novel about buried secrets, family legacy, grief, forgiveness, and the enduring hope of second chances.
