She followed in her father's footsteps and became an expert boat mechanic, helping him run their small resort with cabin rentals, a convenience store, and a marina. When Brianna's father unexpectedly dies, Brianna is steeped in grief and guilt--then left alone to clean up the mess. To make matters worse, a constant stream of real estate brokers begins marching through her property, offering to buy the family land. In particular, she keeps running into handsome real estate mogul Scott Gibson. As Brianna struggles to keep it all together, Scott finds his way into her heart. And as the two fight against their feelings, they just might find themselves forging a surprising and exciting new love at Splendid Lake. "A touching story of grief, love, and life carrying on, The Heart of Splendid Lake engaged my heart from the very first page. Sometimes the feelings we run from lead us to the hope we can't escape, and that's a beautiful thing to see through the eyes of these winning characters. Amy Clipston deftly guides readers on an emotionally satisfying journey that will appeal to fans of Denise Hunter and Becky Wade." --Bethany Turner, award-winning author of Plot Twist "The Heart of Splendid Lake offers a welcome escape in the form of a sympathetic heroine and her struggling lakeside resort. Clipston proficiently explores love and loss, family and friendship in a touching, small-town romance that I devoured in a single day!" --Denise Hunter, bestselling author of The Bluebell Inn series"-- |cProvided by publisher. 650 0 Resorts |vFiction. |=^A1065685 650 0 Real estate development |vFiction. |=^A680976 650 0 Fathers |xDeath |vFiction. |=^A527590 650 0 Man-woman relationships |vFiction. |=^A415498 651 0 North Carolina |vFiction. |=^A459682 650 7 Resorts. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01095631 650 7 Real estate development. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01090973 650 7 Man-woman relationships. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01007080 650 7 Fathers |xDeath. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00921869 650 7 Large type books. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00992678 651 7 North Carolina. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204304 |?UNAUTHORIZED 655 7 Fiction. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01423787 830 0 Thorndike Press large print Christian romance series. |=^A1438355 949 PS3603.L58 H43 2021 |hJOYNER88 |ojjjd 994 C0 |bERE 596 1 998 5801754
