by M. Kate Quinn

At fifty, Iris Stanton’s divorced, out of a job, and her post-marriage condo is for sale and she can’t afford to buy it. So, when her crazy best friend, Yvonne, offers her the use of a beach cottage for the summer, Iris combines the opportunity with a plan to resolve her pending homelessness. At the shore Iris meets two men–flirtatious contractor, Sam Hanratty, whose attention makes her heart mambo, and his hulky foreman, Eddie Morgan, who gives her heartburn. It’s a summer of challenges that reveal her heart’s desire and the discovery of whom and what hold the key.
