Belle and her cousins have beautifully restored the Dane Crown Inn, and with it, their warm sisterly bond. But can they stay close with Aunt Margaret poised to sell their legacy?
For nearly a year, Belle and her cousins have poured their hearts and souls—and every spare dime—into restoring the Dane Crown Inn to its former glory. As they stripped peeling paint from walls and repaired the damaged floors, the women uncovered not just the charm of the inn but also the deep, unbreakable bond they shared as teenagers, when they spent every summer keeping the inn’s suites spotless and enjoying the gorgeous beach as a tight-knit family. Now it’s time to fulfill Aunt Margaret’s final wish and host one last Dane family reunion at the inn that once again lives up to its reputation as “the gem of Florida’s Treasure Coast.”
Finally, preparations are complete for a weekend filled with family traditions. There will be horseshoes and croquet matches, fun treasure hunts and a talent show, a sing-along and even a wedding—all in celebration of the love and history their family has shared with the inn. But as assorted aunts and uncles and cousins once removed descend on the tiny beachside community of Emerald Bay, the Dane family’s legacy hangs in the balance. At the conclusion of the reunion, Margaret intends to plant a For Sale sign in the yard.
Before she does, one important question remains: If the Dane Crown Inn is the lynchpin that holds their family together, how much are Belle, Kim, Diane and the rest willing to sacrifice in order to keep it?
The Emerald Bay Series
After a lifetime of running the finest inn in Emerald Bay, Margaret Clayton has to make a decision … sell the Dane Crown Inn to a stranger or put her hopes for the future in her family’s hands. For most people, the choice would be simple. But nothing about her family is simple … especially not with her daughter and four nieces whose help Margaret needs now more than ever.
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.
As the once-close cousins come together on the glorious shores of Florida’s Treasure Coast, they learn that some things never change, but others can never be the same. And the only thing that matters is family which, like the Dane Crown Inn, is forever.
