The Suite Spot
by Trish Doller
Single mom Rachel Beck loves her job at a luxury Miami Beach hotel, until she is fired for something she did not do. On impulse she takes a position at a brewery hotel on tiny Kelleys Island in Lake Erie, despite the grumpy voice on the phone. When she arrives, the hotel is little more than studs and a dream, and its owner, Mason, knows everything about beer and nothing about hospitality. Helping him build it from the ground up gives Rachel a chance to rebuild her own life too. A warm, comforting island romance about starting over.
