Good grief.
What on earth had Kay gotten herself into?
Matt Quinn braked, gravel crunching beneath the tires as his Mazda came
to a stop in front of his sister’s new business.
No. Scratch new.
Beachview B&B might be new to Kay, but that adjective didn’t come
anywhere close to describing this cedar-shake-covered structure with the
whimsical turret on one end.

Exhaling long and slow, he wiped a hand down his face as his hopes for
the much-needed R&R that had fueled his long drive north from San
Francisco evaporated.
His sister may not have summoned him for help with her business, but
how could he ignore the elephant in the room?
An elephant that likely wouldn’t be here if he’d done what he should
have done and asked way more questions nine months ago when she’d
announced that she was going to buy a B&B on the Oregon coast. Or even
come up here to look the place over. He could have accomplished that in a
weekend trip if necessary.
One more regret to feed the gnawing guilt that had been his constant
companion for two long years.
Knuckling the road grit from his eyes, he tried to coax the ever-present
knot in his stomach to untwist. After all, it was possible the few rotted
pieces of shake siding above the foundation, the missing roof shingles, the
potholes on the inn’s access drive, and the listing shutter on the second floor
weren’t an omen of what was to come inside.
Nevertheless, the empty parking lot suggested he wasn’t the only one
who’d been put off by a negative first impression.
Did his sister have any customers?
The knot cinched tight again, like a hangman’s noose.
But this whole scenario did have one bright side.
There would be plenty to distract him from his own problems while he
was here.
The front door opened, and Kay stepped out, shadowed under the large
A-frame roof above the entryway at this twilight hour.
Since it was too late to drive away even if that had been an option, he
pulled into a parking space, set the brake, and pushed the engine stop
button.
She jogged over, waiting to speak until he opened the door and slid from
behind the wheel. “I’ve been watching for you.” Her lips tipped up, fine
lines feathering at the corners of her eyes as she held out her arms.
“Welcome to Oregon on this beautiful June day.”
“Thank you.” He gave her a hug.
After returning the squeeze, she eased back to scrutinize him. “You look
tired. Tell me you took a couple of breaks during the drive.”
“I did.” But only long enough to fill up with gas.
“This wasn’t an emergency, you know. You didn’t have to make it a
marathon.”
“A nine-hour drive isn’t exactly a marathon.”
She rolled her eyes, just as she’d been doing for the past twenty-six years
whenever he exasperated her—which had been often in the early days. Few
eighteen-year-olds thrust into a dual parenting role were equipped to deal
with a grieving nine-year-old who tended to get into a lot of messes.
