Sometimes the thing you want the least is the thing you need the most.

Talented seamstress and visionary, Joannie Harper wants one thing. To open a fashion boutique in New York City. The first step is securing the spot on her favorite reality TV show for up-and-coming designers. Then she’ll quit her job working for her awful boss who takes advantage of her talents.

Things don’t go exactly as she planned, but Joannie won’t quit on her dream. After all, she’s dealt with worse things in her life. Lack of money will hardly stop her. Besides, she’s got the keys to her parent’s beach house, and it’s got to be worth a small fortune. With her sewing machine and dress form in tow, Joannie makes her way to Honeycomb Beach to sell the house. Who wouldn’t want to buy a house on the beach? Nothing to it.

When she discovers the house is in terrible shape and inhabited by a good-looking surfer, Joannie will have to fix the house and deal with an uninvited yet handsome guest, the person who knows things about her she has never revealed.

Will Joannie finally sell the house and make her fashion dreams come true or will the handsome townie who inhabits the house convince her that Honeycomb Beach is a worthy place to live and that dreams don’t all have to happen in big cities?

For lovers of family sagas, women’s fiction and the stories about the chances we take, and the dreams we wish for.
