Summary
What an amazing piece of inspirational fiction nestled securely within a contemporary romance! It's an absolutely impossible book to put down! Autumn Kingsley is determined to follow her dream; to travel the world, at least as far as Paris, France when a long¬awaited job opportunity becomes available. But first things, first. She must \"right a sinking ship\"; her beautiful, vintage family inn needs increasingly serious repairs and a boatload of reservations in order to prevent it from dissolving into bankruptcy and disappearing from Whisper Shore's alluring landscape. Could the offer of assistance from a family nemesis possibly be the answer to her problems, or only the beginning of many, many more? Old wounds leave deep scars. Blake \"Blaze\" Hunziker has decided to stop \"globe¬trotting\" and come home to Whisper Shores where his family owns a beautiful posh hotel with five¬star amenities in his small, nostalgic home town. But can he be taken seriously, especially after recently starring in a reality television show that featured him pretendmarried to its host? And what about the memories of his brother's death; the memories that continue to pervade his thoughts and dreams without warning? Fortunately or unfortunately, when Blake is offered a temporary civic duty; to plan Whisper Shore's upcoming Christmas Festival, he literally runs into Autumn Kingsley and they form a partnership; his help at the inn in return for her help planning the festival.
