This was a good beach read about a woman who has inherited a beach house from her grandmother and returns to the place she grew up. Of course she finds romance, but she is also escaping from a bad marriage. She befriends a gay guy and his old mother. The husband catchs up with her. I believe she also has a teenaged daughter. Sound familiar?

Sounds like Anne Rivers Siddons to me; maybe Low Country? I might be getting the wrong book of hers due to the Low Country connection but I've read at least one book of hers that sounds similar.
No, that was not the book, but thankyou so much, for in researching that one on Amazon, I found the one I was looking for. It's called 'Sullivan's Island' by Dorothea Benton Frank. Without your suggestion, I would not have found and remembered it. Also, I believe you turned me on to a new author I will probably enjoy.
Hey, cool! And I will check out Sullivan's Island sometime :)I really enjoy Anne Rivers Siddons when I'm in the mood for them. Her plots tend to run to a formula but the settings are interesting (and for me, exotic) and I love reading about people taking the reins of their lives and turning things around.
So glad you found your book!
