The Rosebud Girls have their dream lodge. But what happens after dreams become realities? The last thing Callie has room for in her life is a new relationship. Between the lodge remodel, being the glue that keeps her beloved Rosebud Girls together, and her real estate firm, her hands are more than full. But that doesn't keep Callie from wishing she had one. So when a drop dead handsome contractor is placed in her path, what's a woman to do? Saffron has very few enemies. In fact, up until her legal woes with her previous partners she would say she only had one enemy. An arch-nemesis if you will. But that doesn't matter much because Alex is a person of her past. Until she walks into her brand-new kitchen at the lodge and who's standing there? Alex. Kenzie was sure the worst of her woes were behind her. Bryan is relatively healthy and now she's got a job where she not only works way fewer hours, she also gets to work with her friends. Life is looking up. Until what she thought was a small fight she had with Bryan turns out to be much more. His time he spent in the city cooling off goes from one night to a week to even longer. And Kenzie realizes that if she wants to keep her marriage she's going to have to fight.  Hazel went on one date with Dylan. It was all she promised him and it was all she is planning on giving. He's too...well, incredible if she's honest with herself. And she doesn't need an incredible man in her life. She needs to focus on her children and her new job. She just barely got out of a twenty-year marriage for heaven's sake. But when Dylan is relentless and Hazel doesn't have much of an excuse for saying no to him other than he's too good to be true? It looks like a second date is in their future. And maybe even a third and fourth. Will Hazel let go and enjoy, or will her fears get in the way of something that could really be great? Laurel swears that hamsters make more progress in their lives than she does with hers. She's still staying at Callie's house, reliant on her for nearly everything. She's still worried about her future. And she still has no idea what to do about her past. But when it all catches up to her, Laurel has some decisions to make. Will she stand by her husband as he goes on trial for his crimes? Will she try to save her marriage?  Life has a way of getting even the best of us down and the Rosebud Girls are no exception. Join them as they work through their challenges and come out even stronger than before. Because although they've never had it easy, they'll always have one another. Grab your copy of The Rosebud Lodge TODAY! less
