From the bestselling author of The Bookshop Ladies, Faith Hogan, comes a wonderfully gripping and poignant story of two sisters and their family hotel on peaceful Pin Hill Island, once a thriving family business now struggling to survive.
Blythe Carney is long over the disappointment of seeing her early dreams of becoming a hotelier for her family's business, the Hope Square Hotel, snatched from her. Now she owns Ivy Hill House, the most exclusive guest house on Pin Hill Island. She can't help feeling, though, that she's not living the life she was meant to. That somehow, it fell into her younger sister Rae's lap, and there wasn't a single thing she could do to stop it.
Rae Johnson had no interest in taking over the hotel. She wanted to cut loose from their island home as quickly as possible, but fate, and their grandfather, intervened. Rae ended up with the family business and the husband her sister had set her heart on, and a sense of duty to continue their family legacy that weighed heavily on her.
Now newly widowed Rae is struggling to keep the hotel afloat and the only solution available to her is to sell it, the one thing that might be the final straw in her fragile relationship with her sister.
What do you do when your sister lives the life that you'd set your heart on? And when the perfect storm is brewing, surely it's time to put aside jealousy and the settling of scores that can tear a family apart when you need them most?
