New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery returns with a
poignant story about finding love and freeing oneself from the past.
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.
