Synopsis

He's her father's dream, but he's Frankie's worst nightmare.

Frankie Alvarez has built a life for herself in Fortune Bay, has a good job at the high school and a bungalow on the lake. She hasn't spoken to her father for three years, but every month he sends her a check. And every month she rips it up.
Sean Murphy, her new neighbor in the cabin next door, is just the kind of successful young exec' her father wanted her to marry. But she's looking for something different. If only he wasn't such a good cook, and so darn charming!
When Sean discovers Frankie is estranged from her father, he can't resist stepping in behind her back. After all, he'd give anything for someone to tell him what happened to the daughter he gave up fifteen years ago.

Welcome to Fortune Bay.

About this title

From the Author

Welcome to Fortune Bay.

This is a story about fathers and daughters:Frankie's troubled relationship with her own father that is preventing her from finding meaningful relationships with men in her life; and Sean's troubles that began years ago when, as a teen, he gave up a daughter for adoption.

The stories of women who give up babies are painful and poignant, but often known. At least among women. The fathers have seldom been allowed a voice and, even today, many carry the loss with them silently for years. In this book, I wanted to give them that voice.

Readers have told me they'd like to know more about Stephanie, the matriarch of this series so, in The Good Neighbor, Stephanie gets her own story, and a bit of romance.

I hope you enjoy it. Thank you for reading.

Review

A review from a reader -"...This book is much more than a romance. There is a mystery going on, only hints thrown out at first, until it suddenly bursts to the forefront. And there is a painful secret that has to come out in order for Sean to really move forward. As always, this author draws her characters into life. They step from the pages and into your imagination."

From another Amazon reader -
"This book was such a great addition to this series. I loved - LOVED - Sean and Frankie together as a couple, even before they officially became one.Their friendship was so organic and sweet that I loved all of the scenes between them. Their personal stories were both gritty and so incredibly real that I found myself unable to stop thinking about them(specifically Sean's plight, holy cow) even when I was away from the book. I know everyone says this, but it was so difficult for me to put this one down to do 'real life' things. I just wanted to be able sit in a quiet room and read this book from cover to cover without interruption so that I could find out what happened. The story line with Max and Stephanie (who I adore!) was unexpected, but so very sweet. If ever abook character deserved a Happily Ever After, it would be Stephanie Murphy."
