Returning to her roots on the rocky, tumultuous coast of Maine with her love interest Kurt Mitchell, Elizabeth Pennington reopens her family's historic inn, which she lovingly restored to its New England charm after a powerful hurricane nearly destroyed it. Unseen forces, however, seem hell-bent on derailing her efforts, or worse--taking her out of the picture.

The untimely death of a young female guest in the inn's fitness center appears to be a tragic accident until authorities investigate and find there is more than meets the eye.

When a second body is discovered, Elizabeth fears the worst--a killer in their midst. Has the inn's dark past resurfaced? Has Kurt's past as an FBI agent followed him to Pennington Point? Are the guests in danger?

Feeling the strain from a mountain of debt and the pressure to carry on in her grandmother's footsteps as keeper of a popular inn, Elizabeth is crushed when the town begins foreclosure proceedings. On the brink of losing her childhood home, Elizabeth endeavors to remain steadfast in her quest to carry on her grandmother's legacy--until the killer comes after her.
