A life-changing inheritance...but not in the way she expects.
Dahlia thought settling her aunt's estate in the seaside town where she'd spent her childhood summers would be easy - a one- or two-day job at the most. Discovering that she's inherited a crumbling house and a failing bookstore puts a wrench in that plan.

With a nasty trustee who is determined to keep her from selling her inheritance, and Garrett, a handsome neighbor who challenges her at every step, Dahlia doesn't expect to have a future there.

However, Candle Beach grows on her and she sees transformations in herself that she didn't expect. With happy memories everywhere she turns, her friends begging her to stay, and a developing attraction to Garrett, could Aunt Ruth's bequest be the key to Dahlia's happily-ever-after?
