A betrayal. A billionaire. And a chance to have it all.
When Lucy Nash discovers her business partner of nearly thirty years embezzled money from the company they started together, she’s convinced life couldn’t get any worse. Until she meets Quinn Buxton. Selling him on her skills as a real estate agent while proving Blue Water Bay is the next vacation hot spot will take all she’s got. If it weren’t for Quinn’s arrogant attitude—he might just be the perfect client and the answer to her problems. Until Lucy finds her heart racing at the twist of his sinful smirk and her hands sweating when he’s near. But Lucy doesn’t date clients. And she doesn’t date jerks.
Hoodwinked into traveling to Blue Water Bay, Michigan on the anniversary of his wife’s death Quinn is irritated. But an unusual meeting with the town’s star real estate agent pushes him over the edge. He’s determined to cut the trip short, but when a calamity of errors keeps Quinn in Blue Water Bay longer than expected he begins to change his mind. Is there something special about Blue Water Bay? Or is it Lucy? And is his heart finally ready to let that something—or someone special in?

I love later-in-life romances because they remind me that we can get to live our best lives regardless of age - which I find very encouraging! I also enjoy going back to a familiar place to pick up old friendships, and throwing in a billionaire works for me - back to that bit about living your best life! Lucy and Quinn didn't disappoint, and the ladies of the Round Table are certainly sorting their lives out. I don't want to spoil anything for you, but this is the perfect end to the series - although I'd love to see a book 5 . . .?
I am so sad to see this series end! I absolutely love all of the characters in every book. These friends are real!! I loved finally getting to Lucy’s story❤️. Lara thank you for sharing your characters and writing talent with all of us!!
