Her House Divided — A.J. Goode

Ethan Davis always knew his grandmother was a busybody, but he never expected her to play matchmaker from beyond the grave. When he learns that she left her beach house to him and a beautiful stranger, he vows to do whatever it takes to keep the family home â€" even if that means living with a woman he can't allow himself to trust. Tara Bartlett thinks that her luck is finally changing when she inherits part-ownership of a house on the shore of Lake Michigan. She doesn't like the idea of sharing it with the recently-divorced Ethan, but she's too busy dealing with her own troubles to think of him as anything more than a business partner. When a greedy developer wants to steal their beach house right out from under them, they must join together in the fight to save their home, but can they also fight the growing attraction they feel for one another? *** Welcome to Beach Haven, a tourist town where everyone finds love and no one stays a stranger for long. Each book in this series tells its own tale of romance with a different cast of characters, although a few favorites may stroll through each other's stories from time to time.
