Kim once looked forward to visiting the Dane Crown Inn, where she enjoyed building sand castles on Emerald Bay's sandy beaches, learned to cook in the inn's spacious kitchen, and hunted for buried treasure with her cousins. Later, she paid her way through college by working summers and school holidays at the inn. Now newly divorced, at odds with her grown children, and hoping for a fresh start, Kim returns to the one place where she's always been welcomed with open arms. But things at the inn have changed. Once hailed as the "gem of Florida's Treasure Coast," the inn has lost its luster. Kim's cousins have scattered and face problems of their own. Worse, Kim barely settles into her old room at the top of the stairs when her Aunt Margaret makes the shocking decision to sell the estate that has been in the Dane family for more than fifty years. Before she does, though, Margaret asks Kim and her cousins to make one final wish come true. While they work to fulfill their aunt's last request, Kim and her cousins begin to rebuild their closeness they once treasured. Soon, a new career and a promising relationship with Emerald Bay's most eligible bachelor open up a world of fresh possibilities for Kim. But when hidden secrets come to light, will the past ruin Kim's hopes for a second chance at happiness?
