"Yesterday, I was an heiress. Today, I'm a houseguest in a neighborhood I can't even spell."
Amanda "Mandy" Luke lived a life of champagne and silk until a tragic accident and a family betrayal turned her world to ash. Abandoned by her fake friends and cheated on by her boyfriend, Mandy is left with nothing but a broken heel and a reality check she isn't ready to cash.
When her nanny takes her in, Mandy is forced to swap her penthouse for a guest room and her designer labels for dignity. But the biggest challenge isn't the lack of a personal chef, it's Gabe her nanny's son and a disciplined financial genius who has zero time for her bratty antics.
He's stoic, hardworking, and her total opposite. He's also the only one who can help her uncover the secrets that destroyed her family.
Mandy is about to learn that the view from the bottom is much clearer than the view from the top.

One Man's Treasure || ONC 2026
The town of Dogwood in Cross County, North Carolina is a picturesque seaside community with a sordid past swimming in piracy. Smoking Beard, aka Edward Hollingsworth, was the terror of the colonial coast in the 1600's, and one of Dogwood's founding members, before his descent into illegal privateering and eventual decline into madness. Four hundred years later, Bertha Rodriguez, romance novelist, resides in Dogwood along with her best friend Camilla Goldstien, Dogwood's chief of police. Every year the town capitalizes on its founders' past with a week long festival in June. The Founders' Festival brings much needed tourism and a break from the monotony of living in a small town. This year will be different, a huge storm hits the coast two weeks before the festival begins and someone uses it as an opportunity for murder. With their town cut off from the rest of civilization, it falls to Bertha and Camilla to solve the murder before the weather clears and the villain is able to make an escape.
