Last Resort — Laurie Ryan

Welcome to Willow Bay, the perfect place to stick a chair in the sand, your toes in the water, and get lost in the ebb and flow of life and love.Torn between love and obligation.Smitten with feisty gift-shop owner Dana Ricci from the moment she moved to Willow Bay, reserved mayor Josh Morgan is ready to invest in their future together until a suave entrepreneur sweeps into town. Certain the proposed mega-resort will destroy the small town ambiance of their coastal community, Josh battles the draw of increased tourism, something that Dana, buried in debt, direly needs. This sensual, friends-first story, complete with a wily matchmaker and an endearing dog named Duffy is the first in the Willow Bay series, which can be read in any order.
