Palms on the Cape
After a tumultuous childhood, Rachel Sinclair has made a life for herself. On the verge of turning forty, her upscale beach bar–Palms on the Cape–is packed throughout the Cape Cod summer season. She has surrounded herself with a devoted staff and great friends, including her best friend, Carlos...who she might be in love with. When Rachel learns of a plan to take over her business, she must decide if it's worth the gamble to join forces with an unlikely ally, or risk losing everything she has worked for.
