The Gossip Queens — Kate Austin

Each summer the tourists flood the Sunshine Coast, and the chaos doesn't stop until Labor Day. But in between, at the back of the Way-Inn, best friends, Rose, Mercedes and Doris--aka the Gossip Queens--hold court. Everyone's business is discussed, and good sense reigns. However, lately it's the Gossip Queens whose doings are the talk of the town.

Rose has a husband who loves (and cooks) like an angel, but she's thinking adoption. Doris wants to give her granddaughter love and laughter, but can't take the first step. And independent Mercedes has been worrying about her daughter's love life for so long, she's forgotten to have one herself.

This summer will be remembered forever as the year the Gossip Queens became the hottest scoop. Love always gives people something to talk about, right?
