Hannah Mckinnon: The Wash-Ashores, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

With only one summer to turn things around, one woman finds herself fighting to hold together the one place that's always felt like home with the people who have become like family, in this summery novel from USA TODAY bestselling author of The Sandy Page Bookshop.

Thirty-year-old Holly has inherited the historic Cranberry Inn on Cape Cod from her grandmother, Francine. Only Francine is not dead. At least not yet. And she's not fully convinced the Cranberry Inn is the right fit for Holly; despite its rich maritime history, the Victorian beauty is showing its age and it's so much work. Besides, she has an offer from a developer that she's not sure she can turn down.

Unsure what to do, Francine decides she cannot let Holly take over without a dry run summer. As Francine tries to sequester herself to the sidelines, Holly finally has the chance to prove herself. And time is of essence because this summer they are hosting the Suttons, a prominent New York family of a famed social media influencer who expect no less than perfection for their only daughter's summer nuptials. A move that Holly is convinced will boost the inn's revenue and steer it back on track.

If that weren't enough, Ben is back. Ben's family has summered in the house across the cove from the Cranberry Inn since Holly and Ben were kids. Like her, he's starting his own family business: an oyster farm just up the shore. Only Holly hasn't seen Ben since he shocked her with news of his engagement to another woman several years ago. The way they left things was like a conversation unfinished, and one that Ben seems interested in revisiting.

With a wedding looming and a bride hedging and a staff feeling adrift, can Holly pull everyone together to ensure that the beloved Cranberry Inn will survive another summer?
