Heartbreak Hotel
by Jill Marie Landis

Landis returns to Twilight Cove, the setting of Lover's Lane (2003) and Heat Wave (2004), with the compelling story of widowed Tracy Potter and novelist Wade MacAllister. When Tracy's wheeler-dealer, real-estate- developer husband dies suddenly, Tracy is shocked to learn that their wealthy lifestyle was mortgaged to the hilt. The only way to provide for her college-age stepdaughter and young son is to make a go of the dilapidated historical hotel her late husband's father left in his name. Before the Heartbreak Hotel is even open for business, Wade rides in on his Harley, planning to end his life. But after drinking himself into oblivion, Wade has a strangely realistic dream and wakes up refreshed after the first decent night's sleep he's had in ages. The longer Wade stays, the more sense his eerie dreams begin to make. A resilient heroine, a guilt-ridden hero, and a touch of the paranormal are all appealing; but the warmth and generosity of spirit Landis' characters possess are what make this a wonderful feel-good read.
