Escape to Sugar Sand Beach with Erin Bradshaw and her best friends for a second chance at all life has to offer. Forty-five year old Erin has grown restless with her life.

Forty-five year old Erin has grown restless with her life. Which is odd because she’s spent the past thirty years roaming the globe. Between summers in Alaska and winters in the Florida keys, she’s climbed the steps of Machu Picchu, hiked long sections of the Great Wall of China, and kayaked down the Amazon. Lately, though, Erin has felt the urge to put down roots, strengthen her neglected relationship with her sister, Reggie, and reconnect with her two best friends, Michelle and Nina. When Michelle inherits a run-down beach house in sleepy Sugar Sand Beach and invites her friends to help convert it into an inn, Erin jumps at the chance to settle down with the best friends a girl could ever hope to have. But now that Reggie’s garden is flourishing, customers crowd the tables in the Café, and the first of the Inn’s guests are due any day, a figure from Erin’s past makes a surprising appearance. When he threatens the bonds of friendship that have deepened over the summer, Erin must choose. Will she return to her nomadic way of life? Or will she put down forever roots in Sugar Sand Beach? less

It’s Christmas at the Sugar Sand Inn, and Michelle and her friends have replaced the Welcome sign with one that reads Closed for the Holidays. The four women deserve a little break after spending the summer working non-stop to convert the house Michelle inherited from her birth mother into an inn. The past three months they’ve definitely been thrilled—and maybe a little overwhelmed—by the influx of guests who alternately charm and confound them. It’s no wonder the four friends need some time to kick back, open a nice bottle of Merlot and enjoy the warm winter breezes that blow off the Gulf. But, no sooner does Michelle hang the No Occupancy sign out front than who should appear but her college-age twins who’ve opted to spend their winter break in sunny Florida. Next, Erin and Reggie’s parents fly in from West Virginia for a surprise, holiday visit. And when a burst pipe floods their handyman’s house, of course, they have to make room for him and his adorable little girl. Soon every room is filled to overflowing, laughter rings throughout the halls, and good smells drift from the kitchen where Chef Nina and her team whip up holiday treats for one and all. Join Nina, Michelle, Reggie and Erin as they enjoy the new lives they’ve built in Sugar Sand Beach, where fresh opportunities for life, love and happiness are as limitless as the blue Florida skies. less
