A USA TODAY bestseller "Old architecture, a missing woman, a sudden inheritance, and a great mystery with unexpected twists make this a hard-to-put-down book . . ." --Karen White, New York Times bestselling author Welcome to Hope Beach. A place of intoxicating beauty . . . where trouble hits with the force of a hurricane. Inheriting a beautiful old hotel on the Outer Banks could be a dream come true for Libby. The inn cries out for her restorer's talent and love of history. She's delighted to learn of the family she never knew she had. And the handsome Coast Guard lieutenant she's met there on the island could definitely be the man of her dreams. But Libby soon realizes that the only way she can afford the upkeep on the inn is to sell it to developers who are stalking the island. The father who willed her the inn has died before she could meet him, and her newfound brother and sister are convinced she's there to steal their birthright. Worst of all, her best friend and business partner has been kidnapped before her eyes, and Libby's under suspicion for the crime. Libby's dream come true is becoming a nightmare. Her only option is to find her friend and prove her innocence, or lose everything on the shores of Hope Island. "Colleen is a master storyteller " --Karen Kingsbury, #1 New York Times bestselling author
After inheriting an Inn from a father she never knew, Libby’s world is turned upside down. In addition to meeting family she didn’t know she had and trying to figure out what to do with the inn, she is faced with being accused of a crime. Her friend and business partner is kidnapped right before her very eyes. Her only hope is to find her friend to clear her name.
The beginning was a little confusing with the introduction of so many characters but the story quickly hooked me in with the kidnapping of Libby’s best friend and partner. I loved the mystery and unexpected twists throughout the plot.
