There are so many things I should have left behind. When I agreed to spend the summer on White Bass Island, helping my sister run her bed and breakfast, I assumed I would need to bring my entire closet. Lake Erie weather can be unpredictable, especially in May. But, really, why did I need three suitcases full of clothes and accessories for every season?
As I groped around in the dark guesthouse, digging through half-unpacked suitcases and boxes, I realized this would have been so much easier if I had just brought less stuff. After stepping on my dog and stubbing my toe on a nightstand, I finally found a sweater and jeans that would get me through the morning.
I shivered as I brought Ziggy, my scrawny, tall, wire-haired mutt outside to use the bathroom. The back of Concord House loomed in front of us, its clean white siding and Victorian gingerbread trim gleaming brightly in the moonlight. All of the windows except one were dark. I could see a light shining from one of the third-floor rooms. That’s where my sister Molly sleeps.
“If I wanted to get up in the middle of the night, I’d still be working at the hospital,” I whispered to the dog as I kneeled downto scratch his head. “And that gig paid a lot better.”
But I would do anything for my sister. She got divorced last winter, so this was her first summer season running the bed and breakfast by herself. My job as a nursing professor leaves my summers wide open so I decided to come help her, even though I don’t know much about hospitality. Or making breakfast. If nothing else, I wanted to make sure she was ok.
I gave Ziggy his breakfast, washed my hands and face, slipped into my gray knit boots, and headed over to the main house.
Concord House Sisters Description:
For two sisters, one summer can change everything . . .
Alex is the strong older sister—the nursing professor who knows how to take charge.
Molly is the younger sister—the newly-divorced entrepreneur who just wants to get her business, and her life, back on track.
When Alex travels to White Bass Island to help Molly run Concord House Bed and Breakfast for the summer, she expects she’ll be swooping in to save the day.
But what she doesn’t expect is a love interest who will make Alex question her independent ways, quirky guests who put her in her place, and Molly’s vindictive ex-mother-in-law who is determined to undermine Molly and Concord House at every turn.
Can these sisters save the business, their relationship, and their love lives?
