A new series by USA Today Bestselling Author Kathi Daley featuring a cozy gathering of friends with a touch of romance and a pinch of mystery My name is Lou Prescott I was born in South Carolina but spent most of my life in Northern Minnesota Since the death of my husband I ve found myself at loose ends so when my niece offered to sell me the quaint seaside bookstore she owned in Holiday Bay Maine I jumped at the opportunity to restart my life somewhere new My journey to date has been a bit rocky but my rescue cat Toby and I are making it work The first thing we did after settling in was make a few additions to the bookstore including a coffee bar and pastry counter as well as a cat lounge with a rescue and adoption feature This allows Toby and I to match his buddies from the street with their perfect human So far my favorite part of my new endeavor is a reader group who meets on Tuesday nights.
