About the Book:

After losing her long-time acting gig on the hit show M**der 101, Sydney Ryan decides she needs a break from Hollywood politics. She heads to Treasure Island, Florida where her grandmother has been visiting and now refuses to leave. Sydney’s plan to lay low for a bit quickly goes awry though, as she is swept up in her grandmother’s now flourishing social life—Grand not only bought a new house in Casas de Flores, she’s also helping her neighbor Myra open a bookstore in Pass-a-Grille. But when someone breaks into Grand’s house repeatedly Sydney realizes her grandmother is keeping something from her.

Determined to ferret out the truth and protect her grandmother, Sydney enlists the help of the Ten Beach Road ladies and Luke, a local police officer who was once her high school crush. While Sydney puts her television crime solving skills to the test, she decides to act on the sizzling chemistry between her and Luke. And as Sydney spends more sunsets toasting to true friends and new romance, she begins to wonder if the sun is setting on her time in Hollywood and if this town could be the dawn of a new chapter.

About the Author:

Wendy Wax, a former broadcaster, is the USA Today Bestselling author of sixteen novels and two novellas including the popular Ten Beach Road series.

Her novels revolve around journeys of self-discovery and the bonds of friendship that get us through the toughest times.

And while her characters deal with real life issues, Wax, like Mary Poppins, believes that a spoonful of humor helps the harsh realities go down. Booklist refers to her novels, which are intentionally light, as ‘her trademark form of fiction, the beach read with substance.’

After thirty plus years in Atlanta, she once again lives on the water on the west coast of Florida near the home she grew up in and Ten Beach Road’s fictional Bella Flora.
