Return to Pelican Inn — Dana Mentink

Her design scheme didn't include him!

Struggling interior designer Rosa Franco and her twin brother, Cy, would transform the timeworn Pelican Inn into the jewel of the California coast if it killed her. And it would kill her if they failed. Their business, and her future, depended on winning the Great Escapes Magazine design contest that had lured them back to the town where some of her best -- and worst -- memories were forged. Memories like those of Pike Matthews, the innkeeper's nephew, her high school heartthrob turned humiliator, now infiltrating himself into every aspect of the project. Was he purposely frustrating her efforts? She only wished she didn't care so badly to find out why: whether he was carrying a grudge -- or a torch.
