Treasure Coast Promise

Emerald Bay, Book 2

By: Leigh Duncan

Narrated by: Erin Bennett

She has a new career and a promising relationship, but will the secrets of her past ruin her hopes for the future?

No matter where she lived, Kimberly Ann Dane considered the Dane Crown Inn her home. As a child, Kim looked forward to frequent visits to the inn, where she enjoyed building sand castles on Emerald Bay's sandy beaches, learning to cook in the inn's spacious kitchen, and hunting for buried treasure with her cousins. As she grew older, she paid her way through college by working summers and school holidays at the inn. It's no wonder that—divorced, at odds with her grown children, and hoping to make a fresh start—Kim returns to the one place she's always been welcomed with open arms.

But things have changed. Kim's cousins have scattered and face problems of their own. And the inn, which was once hailed as the "gem of Florida's Treasure Coast," has lost its luster. Kim has barely settled into her old room at the top of the stairs when her Aunt Margaret shocks the entire family with the news that she has decided to sell the estate that has been in the Dane family for more than fifty years. Before she does, though, Margaret asks Kim and her cousins to make one final wish come true.

While Kim and her cousins work to fulfill their aunt's last request, they begin to rebuild the closeness they once treasured. As the women work to restore the inn to its former glory, a new career and a promising relationship with Emerald Bay's most eligible bachelor open up a world of fresh possibilities for Kim. When hidden secrets come to light, will her past ruin Kim's hopes for a second chance at happiness?

Talk about an abrupt ending

I like the story and the characters but the ending left me frustrated. The end was so abrupt - like they all of a sudden only had a few sentences and had to be done. Why not make the book longer and lead up to a more enjoyable ending. I feel shorted - kind of like someone took the book away before I was finished reading it.

Spellbinding series of women’s fiction

Slow and seductive tale of a family that comes back together again while renovating an old Florida Inn.

the Family

the on going story's. there funny,sweet,and sometimes sad. But all in all great story's. I loved them all.

Loved it

Good wholesome stories I love to listen at work makes everything go smoothly in my day

Trying to do too much by juggling a complicated family situation & doing justice to none of the characters.

I do not like that you spend 7+ hours spinning your wheels. Simplify & concentrate on only one or two of the characters in depth.
