Three sisters whose marriages have been wrecked by betrayal retreat to a windswept island in search of healing and a second chance. Heartfelt women's fiction of revived dreams, sisterhood and a father who vanished two decades ago. Three sisters. One island. A chance to rewrite their stories. When betrayal shatters their marriages, Ivy, Paisley, and Skylar retreat to Orchid Island, a windswept haven that whispers of healing and second chances. Ivy, exhausted from years of supporting everyone but herself, dares to revive her dream of becoming a playwright. Paisley, once the golden girl, must learn who she's without the family she longed for. And Skylar, the youngest and most fragile, searches for comfort in the island's quiet magic, and the courage to face old wounds. But beneath their fresh start lies an unsolved mystery: the disappearance of their beloved father two decades earlier. Orchid Island holds secrets as deep as the sisters' own heartbreaks. The Orchid Island B&B begins the enchanting Orchid Island series, a heartfelt journey of love, loss, and rediscovering home. Publisher's Note - This book was previously released under the title The Orchid Island Inn. The Orchid Island B&B is book two in the Orchid Island, a saga for fans of Elin Hilderbrand and Mary Alice Monroe.
