**"Mallery has set the bar high....The characters...come to life in
their small-town setting and will touch readers' hearts and funny
bones."--RT Book Reviews
On Blackberry Island, friendship, love and forgiveness are as constant
as the ocean waves, if only you can make room in your heart for
hope.**
Michelle Sanderson may appear to be a strong, independent woman, but on
the inside, she's still the wounded girl who fled home years ago. A
young army vet, Michelle returns to the quaint Blackberry Island Inn to
claim her inheritance and recover from the perils of war. Instead, she
finds the owner's suite occupied by the last person she wants to see.
Carly Williams and Michelle were once inseparable, until a shocking
betrayal destroyed their friendship. And now Carly is implicated in the
financial disaster lurking behind the inn's cheerful veneer.
Single mother Carly has weathered rumors, lies and secrets for a
lifetime, and is finally starting to move forward with love and life.
But if the Blackberry Island Inn goes under, Carly and her daughter will
go with it.
To save their livelihoods, Carly and Michelle will undertake a turbulent
truce. It'll take more than a successful season to move beyond their
devastating past, but with a little luck and a beautiful summer, they
may just rediscover the friendship of a lifetime.
Don't miss The Boardwalk Bookshop by Susan Mallery! A heartfelt
tale of friendship between three women brought together by chance who
open a bookshop together on the boardwalk of the California beaches.
