When a Nor’easter sweeps into the coastal town of Tuckaway Bay on Christmas eve, the residents and guests of Sea Glass Inn prepare to hunker down and weather the storm. But which is worse—the storm raging outside, or the one brewing inside the inn?
Having survived their first year of running Sea Glass Inn—and a year of marriage—Zach and Lia Allen decide to celebrate the holidays by inviting their friends back to Tuckaway Bay for the Christmas weekend
Wait. Correction. Zach reluctantly agrees. He really wants a quiet Christmas with Lia.
Of course, there is plenty of room for Lia’s girlfriends—even though half of the inn is shut down for deep cleaning and painting—but is there enough room for children and significant others? And what about Zach’s friends from New Hampshire who crash the inn after the Nor’easter cancels their winter fishing expedition?
As if space is the only issue… Is the resort large enough to handle fluctuating family dynamics, teenage angst, pregnancy hormones, and perimenopausal women? Can Sea Glass Inn, and its occupants, survive the mood swings and hot flashes?
Fa-la-la-la-la. Let the reindeer games begin!
