White Pine Island Stories, book 12

For Chase Lincoln, there’s nothing better than a vacation at the Grand Hotel…especially one that reconnects him with a beautiful woman from his past. He and Abigail Clark, once college friends, formed a pact late one night their senior year. Their agreement was simple. If neither was married at thirty, they’d wed. Life took them in different directions and their encounters since college have been rare, but one meeting a few months earlier made Chase realize that Abigail might very well be the woman for him.

Abigail’s not sure why she accepted Chase’s invitation to White Pine Island. Love hasn’t been kind to Abigail, and her first marriage ended in a divorce that made her question everything. As her thirtieth birthday approaches, she decides to take a chance on Chase and his fun-loving spirit. Their weekend together turns into a week that ends in Abigail’s birthday celebration. Is it enough to convince her that love and happiness are within her grasp?

Jilted at the altar, Lily Weathers moves to White Pine Island where she becomes the wedding florist at the Grand Hotel. Her own dream wedding was a disaster, but she still believes in love and happily ever afters for other people. She’s made birthday bouquets, anniversary arrangements, and spectacular wedding garlands for two years, but a burst pipe over her florist shop finally opens her eyes to a romance she never expected to blossom.

Henry Donovan has worked his way up from summer maintenance man to Director of Engineering. He makes sure everything at the Grand Hotel works perfectly from the electrical systems to the lawn sprinklers. He likes things to be orderly and predictable, but he walks past the florist shop every day hoping something unexpected will happen. Will Lily look up from her flowers and finally notice that he’s more than just the quiet man who keeps the hotel’s lights on?
