Coastal homes, family legacy, and an old friendship

In this 27th Seaside Saga novel, coastal architect Jason Barlow’s work reflects both his connection to the shore and the legacies of his father and brother. The description places his New England cottages—marked by porches, turrets, stonework, and wide windows—alongside the relationships and histories he builds and restores. When Jason’s life is threatened, a request to those closest to him draws an old friend into the story. The beach remains a defining backdrop as the book brings together architecture, family ties, friendship, and the consequences of danger within the continuing series.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

Book overview

From New York Times bestselling author Joanne DeMaio comes The Architect, Book 27 of The Seaside Saga.

As a noted coastal architect, Jason Barlow designs homes that evoke the sea. Gabled, shingle-style New England cottages are his forte. Cottages that beautifully weather in the salt air. Cottages with grand porches; and rounded turrets; and fortress-like stonework speaking of the land, as well as his father's legacy. Cottages with floor-to-ceiling windows bringing in the sea, the sky, that his brother so loved. But it's not only incredible homes Jason builds and restores-it's relationships and friendships and histories, all set against the backdrop of a beach that's defined him.

After his very life is threatened, however, Jason Barlow shares a simple request with those to whom he's closest. A request that has an old friend turn to The Architect now more than ever.

And The Seaside Saga continues.
