About this listen
When Vanessa Young finds herself aged out of her job as a Hollywood stylist and facing the loss of her father, she acts on a bold impulse and reconnects with the daughter she gave up for adoption thirty years ago.
To her surprise, Emily is also at a crossroads in her life, equally eager for change and a fresh start. Together, they travel to Vanessa's hometown of Rosemary Beach, Florida, to embark on a journey of self-discovery and second chances.
The charming and idyllic seaside community has undergone drastic changes since Vanessa left three decades ago, but one thing hasn't changed—her sister Gloria, who owns the local diner and offers her unconditional love and support.
Emily is enchanted, longing to sink her toes into the white sands of Florida's Panhandle and create lasting bonds with an all-new family. When the past threatens to put an end to all their dreams, this mother-daughter duo learns to lean on loved ones for strength, laughter, and a chance to have a whole new beginning… and a very happy ending.
New Beginnings in Rosemary Beach is book one in the Young at Heart series, a heartwarming saga of family, friendship, and forgiveness.

Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

Story
Margaret Dane Clayton has spent her entire life at the Dane Crown Inn, the beautiful resort in the quiet beachside town of Emerald Bay. But the inn once hailed as the "gem of Florida's Treasure Coast" is showing its age, much like its fiercely independent owner. Margaret swears she'll keep the doors of the inn open forever—until an accident forces her to accept that she can no longer cater to guests on her own. After reaching the most difficult decision of her life, Margaret asks her daughter and nieces to grant her one final wish before she places the property on the market.

Harper Calhoun lives a pretty rarified life. She's the personal confidant of Hollywood's elite. But she does more than rub elbows with them. She helps them make big decisions, gives them advice when they need it, and coaches them on how to deal with the pressures of fame. She's even dating one of the biggest superstars. But when the spotlight turns on her, she's the one who can't deal with the pressure. The risk is too great that the truth about who she really is will be exposed.
