What do you do when
your sister lives the life
that you’d set your
heart on?

All Blythe Carney ever wanted was to become a hotelier and run her family’s business, the Hope Square Hotel. But fate,
and her grandfather, intervened and it fell into her younger sister Rae’s lap, taking her dreams with it. Now Blythe owns
Still Water House, the most exclusive guest house on Pin Hill Island, but she can’t help but feel she’s still not living the life
she was meant to.


Rae Johnson had no interest in taking over the hotel, her dreams lay elsewhere, but when she ended up with the family
business her sister had set her heart on, her sense of duty to continue their family legacy with her husband was too
strong to ignore.


Now, fifteen years later, newly widowed Rae is struggling to keep the hotel afloat and she knows that selling it could be
the final straw in her already fragile relationship with her sister.

What do you do when your sister lives the life that you’d set your heart on? And when the perfect storm is brewing, surely,
it’s time to put aside the jealousy and disappointment that can tear a family apart, and fight for the future you have
always dreamed of?
