Leigh Ann Eden had a great life in New York as a partner in a public relations business she'd helped to build - and lost it all when her father was charged with financial crimes. She wasn't involved in his business or the fraud, but her very public role as the face of the PR firm made her a target for media, investigators, angry investors, as well as to people who were merely curious. She couldn't withstand the pressure. She went into hiding and avoidance became a way of life.
Her cousin Florence offered her a place to hide in her home in Richmond, Virginia and was a lifesaver for Leigh for almost two years, but Florence died and now Leigh's alone and doesn't know how to un-hide herself, how to find the courage to get out in public again - until the day an unexpected event occurs that disrupts her usual routine and Leigh is swept along as a series of subsequent events unwind that force her out of the the careful life she's constructed. But re-emerging into everyday life won't be that simple because the sins of the past - even though she wasn't a party to them - will come back to harm her.
Mignon King lost her husband two years ago, but losing him on top of having lost their daughter fifteen years earlier, is simply too much for her, and Mignon is mired in grief. She can't seem to get free of it. But she has friends, including a stranger who shows up unexpectedly and quickly ingratiates himself into her life.
Before she can move on, she must decide about selling The Emerald Heart Hotel - but odd things have been happening around the property, and now her estranged sister-in-law has shown up uninvited, and Mignon is trusting them all less and less. Who has the most to gain from the sale of the property? How can she know? How can she make any decision when she isn't sure she can even trust herself?
Visit Emerald Isle, NC in this single title story about Emma, a woman who spent much of her early life at the beach but then fate took her elsewhere. Now she has a chance to go back and reclaim the happiness she remembers...but is that possible?
Emma Deveraux married Gregory Dance soon after college and now, thirteen years later, she is a widow and about to be homeless. Her husband’s long illness has left her broken financially and emotionally devastated. Over the angry objections of her stepson, Macon, she sold the family home to pay the debts and now, it’s moving-out day—surely the lowest point in her almost thirty-seven years of life. But on this day when nothing good could possibly be expected to happen, she receives a last-minute delivery—legal documents transferring ownership of Beach Heart to her. It’s a very special delivery that promises hope and a fresh chance at a future. An oceanfront duplex is a valuable property, and this one comes with precious childhood memories, still bright and shiny in her mind, of the happiest years of her life.
