Seabreeze Inn (Hardback or Cased Book)

A widowed artist. An old crush. One summer to get her life back.

Ivy Marin's life implodes after discovering that her late husband had spent their life savings on a beach house. Strapped for cash as an art teacher and with nowhere to go, Ivy and her recently jilted sister head to Summer Beach to recreate their lives. If only renovating a historical home didn't unveil a host of hidden secrets in the beachside community-and the mayor wasn't her former high school crush.

Bennett Dylan led a campaign against Ivy's late husband to block the rezoning of the beach house land for a high-rise resort. Although it's been ten years since his wife's death, Bennett is avoiding the pain of loving-and possibly losing-another woman. And then the FBI shows up... Ivy's demands for a zoning variance for a bed-and-breakfast couldn't come at a worse time for him.

Despite distractions, Ivy has one summer to sway the town to salvage her livelihood and the new life in Summer Beach she's come to love.

With intrigue and poignant self-discovery, the Seabreeze Inn is a sweet summer beach read. If you like sun-soaked beach sagas you can lose yourself in, the Seabreeze Inn and Summer Beach's fascinating characters are for you. Start your vacation in Summer Beach now.
