There's Always Plan B

From a #1 New York Times bestseller, "the master of blending emotionally believable characters in realistic situations," a story about starting over (Library Journal).

Carly Spencer is almost forty, and her life hasn't exactly gone as planned. Weeks away from her big birthday, she finds herself on the brink of divorce—from a husband whose need to "find himself" apparently involves leaving his family and his job so he can sail to Hawaii—and on her way back to her childhood home with her smart-mouthed teenaged daughter, Tiffany, in tow. At least her hometown can offer her the serenity of the ocean.


Chatsworth-by-the-Sea, a sprawling B&B on the rugged northern California coast, is where Carly grew up. Now that life has thrown her a massive curveball, she's decided to help her widowed mother, Rhonda, run the place. But between Tiffany's teenage angst and Rhonda's incessant nagging, Carly's homecoming proves to be anything but peaceful. And when she decides to use the rumors that Chatsworth is haunted to drive new business, she winds up with a real-life ghost hunter as a guest. A stunningly attractive ghost hunter, who seems just as interested in Carly as her haunted house . . .
