A heartwarming cozy mystery series about losing everything, taking a chance, and starting again. After suffering a personal tragedy Abby Sullivan buys a huge old seaside mansion she has never even seen, packs up her life in San Francisco, and moves to Holiday Bay Maine, where she is adopted, quite against her will, by a huge Maine Coon Cat named Rufus, a drifter with her own tragic past named Georgia, and a giant dog with an inferiority complex named Ramos.

What Abby thought she needed was alone time to heal. What she ended up with was, an inn she never knew she wanted, a cat she couldn't seem to convince to leave, and a new family she'd never be able to live without.

In book 27 in the series, it’s summer in Holiday Bay and the flowers are in bloom. Abby meets a mysterious stranger who is destined to bring changes to her life she could never see coming, Mylie is awaiting the birth of baby Danny, Jeremy and Haven are determined to stay on top of things in the garden, and Georgia merges toward a part time commitment at the inn as her show, Cooking with Georgia, begins to expand and grow.

With so much going on, Annabelle decides to attend day camp with Colt's niece and nephew as they adjust to life in Holiday Bay on a full-time basis. Meanwhile, the cottages have been opened for the season and the inn is full to capacity when first-time guests Rowen and Linda reserve the entire property to celebrate their 35th anniversary.

When the couple's friend and financial advisor turns up dead, everyone begins to wonder if perhaps the announcement of an amendment to Rowen and Linda's will might be behind the unexpected turn of events. .
