Dear Reader,

Looks like we’ve come to the end of our stay at Ladera by the Sea. I, for one, will miss wandering its sandy beach and sitting on the veranda, listening to the night sounds and the occasional whispers of young lovers.

This book belongs to Richard Roman’s fourth and youngest daughter, Andrea. One semester away from graduating, Andy still doesn’t know what career path she is going to take. Interested in everything—medicine, business, writing—she can’t make up her mind. The only constant in her life, other than her family, is the inn. But one day a lawyer named Logan MacArthur arrives threatening to take it away. The state of California, in the interest of bringing in more revenue, declares eminent domain over the land the inn is standing on and just like that, the Roman way of life is threatened with extinction.

Well, not if Andy can help it. She and her sisters—the very pregnant Alex and Cris and the bride-to-be Stevi—begin a letter-writing campaign inundating Logan’s senior law firm partners with stacks of letters of protest written by the friends and former guests of the inn. Logan comes by in person to make her cease and desist, but winds up being stuck at the inn himself, thanks to a flash flood making routes out of Ladera impassable. Logan begins to see firsthand what the inn means to the Romans and what they mean to the inn. He also learns that the impossibly infuriating Andy is not quite so impossible after all.

As always, I would like to thank you for taking the time to read my book, and from the bottom of my heart, I wish you someone to love who loves you back.

All good wishes,

Marie Ferrarella
