Emily “Emmie” Withers is given a surprise gift from her deceased husband. It’s a ten-day stay in the Presidential Suite of The Beach House Hotel, presumably for her and their two daughters. But much has happened since his death, so Emmie goes to the hotel by herself, wanting to follow through on her husband’s generous gift. Knowing she’s feeling a bit lonely, Ann and Rhonda suggest that Emmie keeps busy by helping them with kids’ activities, including acting as Mrs. Claus to Ted McAllister, a handsome widower who’s agreed to be Santa. One thing is for sure, there’s no better place than The Beach House Hotel for family love.

A special spin-off book where characters have their own stories but end up at The Beach House Hotel in Florida with Ann and Rhonda. A chance to stay connected to the series in a different way.
