Coral Cafe (Coral Cottage at Summer Beach) by Moran, Jan

A beach cafe. An event to remember. The summer heats up with friendship and fun. When Marina Moore decides to expand her farmer's market and pop-up dinner business, the next step is a cafe on the shores of Summer Beach. But challenges loom, and Marina must quickly become more creative than ever, especially when her children need help. Her sister Kai's position in a musical theater troupe forces more changes, especially when she becomes engaged. Their sister Brooke is having marital challenges, while grandmother Ginger continues to contribute her advice on the life well-lived...if only her granddaughters will listen. Meanwhile, writer Jack Ventana stumbles onto more old secrets in Summer Beach, and his overgrown Labrador retriever puppy Scout manages to dig his way into trouble on the beach. When the status quo changes between Jack and Marina, their budding romance is threatened. Join the fun once again in Summer Beach, where the bonds of friendship and love prove unbreakable.
