Three estranged sisters learn they've inherited a dilapidated beach house from a relative they don't remember. The sisters each hope to get something different out of their unexpected gain. Maureen, the oldest sister, dreams of a private retreat for her family before her teenage children leave her with an empty nest. Lydia, the middle sister, hopes to secure a quick sale to escape overwhelming debt. Tyra, the youngest, only wants redemption. She knows her drug conviction broke the family apart, and this project could be her last chance to bring them back together. After twelve years apart, one crisp Pacific Northwest spring and a rundown beach house may grant Tyra's wish. As the sisters restore the property and prepare it for sale, they learn they have much more in common than a piece of property. As the sand of Inlet Beach blows against their skin, the sisters work to restore what they once were to each other: a family. The Inheritance is the first installment in The Inlet Beach Novels, a series of women's fiction books set in a small beach town.

At Inlet Beach, storefronts are draped with garland, sprinkled with fairy-lights and dusted with Christmas magic. Window boxes overflow with evergreens and sea stars, as the sleepy beach town welcomes visitors for the annual Christmas Lights Festival. But things are not as perfect as they seem. On the eve of the tree lighting in the town square, police find a runaway in trouble. Residents of the community gather to help, but complications arise and unraveling the boy's past is harder than they imagine. As a blustery Pacific Northwest Christmas draws near, can they find a way to give a boy with a shattered life another chance at happiness?

Family has to take you in, no matter how many mistakes you've made. At least that's what Joanna Rutledge Reed thought.

But a string of bad decisions results in heartbreak, forcing her to return home, her life in tatters. While her wayward sister traveled the world, Marcy remained in Charleston, caring for her aging grandmother and managing the family business. And she's got problems of her own that no one seems to notice or care about. When Joanna arrives unexpectedly, Marcy bristles at the intrusion, suspicious of her sister's motives. As Joanna picks up the threads of her old life, she discovers things are not what they appear to be. Painful memories and secrets resurface, leading Joanna to question everything she thought she knew about her family. When her life begins to crash around her again, she needs her sister more than ever. Set against the rich tapestry of Charleston, South Carolina, three generations of strong Southern women share a history and not-quite-forgotten secrets. Will the bonds they forged years ago be strong enough to give them a second chance at being a family?
