Treasure Coast Homecoming: Emerald Bay, Book 1

She has one final wish before she puts a "For Sale" sign in front of the only home she's ever known, but can her family make her dream come true? Margaret Dane Clayton has spent her entire life at the Dane Crown Inn, the beautiful resort in the quiet beachside town of Emerald Bay. But the inn once hailed as the "gem of Florida's Treasure Coast" is showing its age, much like its fiercely independent owner. Margaret swears she'll keep the doors of the inn open forever—until an accident forces her to accept that she can no longer cater to guests on her own. After reaching the most difficult decision of her life, Margaret asks her daughter and nieces to grant her one final wish before she places the property on the market. Will these five women put their busy lives on hold to grant it? The five cousins know the inn as well as Margaret does. As young girls and teenagers, they spent every summer keeping the cottages and suites spotless and enjoying the gorgeous beach as a tight-knit family. Thirty years later, though, these five women have complicated, important, distant, and utterly packed lives. The last thing any of them can do is drop everything and save the inn. But, when it comes to family, the last thing is sometimes the only thing. One by one, each of the cousins arrives in Emerald Bay with armloads of excuses and far too much baggage. When the town's grumpy—yet oh, so handsome—mayor threatens to close the inn for good, the women agree to give the resort the overhaul it desperately needs. Working with a bank account that's far too small and facing one crisis after another, Margaret's daughter and nieces race to fulfill her final wish. Only one question remains: Can this fractured family set aside their differences long enough to restore the inn and rebuild the closeness they once treasured?
