Return to Pelican Inn (Love by Design)
by Dana Mentink
Her design scheme didn’t include him! Struggling interior designer Rosa
Franco and her twin brother, Cy, are bent on transforming the timeworn Pelican Inn into
the jewel of the California coast, even if it kills them. And it will kill Rosa if they
fail. Their business, and her future, depend on winning the Great Escapes Magazine
design contest that lured them back to the town where some of her best—and
worst—memories were forged. Memories like those of Pike Matthews, the innkeeper’s
nephew, her high school heartthrob turned humiliator, now infiltrating himself into
every aspect of the project. Is he purposely frustrating her efforts? Behind that killer
smile is he carrying a grudge…or a torch?
