This delightful beach read follows Drue Campbell, now in her mid-30s, who, after her mother’s death and a knee injury from her obsessive kiteboarding, finds herself homeless and unemployed. She is then offered a job by her emotionally unreliable father at his Sunset Beach legal practice. It turns out that her stepmother will also be her office manager.
Drue has also just inherited her grandparent’s old, ramshackle Sunset Beach cottage. Chill out and enjoy as she begins her life anew and goes on numerous adventures, including help uncover the truth behind an unsolved homicide.
