A real estate mogul who lost everything. A return to the Florida Keys. Her first love and all the problems she left behind twenty-five years ago—await her.
Holly Archer’s husband ruined her life. While they made their fortune in Miami real estate, he took a mistress and managed to make enough illegal dealings to absolutely destroy them forever. Now, Holly’s lost her real estate license, her house, her husband, her friends, and her life.
But Islamorada calls. It’s a sunny, white-sand strip of life and love and sun in the Florida Keys, where she grew up with her three siblings, Randy, Rina, and Amy—all of whom she’s lost touch with over the past twenty-five years.
Now, two years after the death of their father, the Archer House, the Inn where the four of them grew up, is dilapidated and has a financial bleed that she can’t put her finger on; their mother has fallen into an intense depression and Holly finds a place where someone in the world actually needs her help. It’s also a good place to hide in the wake of what her husband did, a place to pretend her life didn’t crumble into nothing.
But patching up the Archer family won’t be easy. Her brother, Randy, is the only sibling who remains in the Keys, and his love for alcohol keeps him isolated and unwilling to help out. Their other sisters hardly answer the phone. Even as Holly digs in her heels, she creates conflict between herself and her own children, the people she loves the most.
All the while, her old high school boyfriend is a mainstay on the island. He’s a cop and, as news of Holly’s husband’s illegal dealings surface in Miami, perhaps he’s one of the only people she can trust in the world.
Secrets unravel in this first installment in the Archer Family Series.

Cora had it all, a doting husband, two wonderful daughters, an amazing career, and a beautiful home. She was living the dream; until…it all came crashing down like a stack of cards.
Starting over was never in her plans— not when she’d spent more than half of her life with a man she’d planned to grow old with. Yet here she was in her prime getting divorced from a husband who’d ignored their vows.
Old wounds return when she receives word of the passing of her estranged father.
Making the trip back to her childhood hometown of Oak Harbor, memories resurface, and she is forced to relive the day everything changed.
Now unable to run away from the responsibility of running the family business, and taking care of her sick mother, Cora must make time to mend her relationship with the woman whom she partly blamed for not being there when she needed her the most. She’ll also have to make amends with her sisters that have become more like acquaintances than blood.
Will Cora finally make amends with her mother?
Will old betrayals sully the path for the sisters to reconcile, or will Cora be able to convince them that she’s a changed woman, prepared to be there for them this time?
Is a happy ending still possible for her?

A grieving widow. Her husband’s explosive secret. A last-minute wedding with a shocking guest.
Rina Archer is the second-eldest sister in the Archer clan. Like Holly, Amy, and Randy, she was born and raised in Islamorada, an island in the Florida Keys, but abandoned the island the second she could, age eighteen and ready for a bigger and better life.
Everything was perfect. Until it wasn’t.
Six months ago, Rina’s husband, Dennis, died of a massive heart attack. She and her children are grieving. Her older sister, Holly, continues to call from Islamorada about repairing the Archer House, the Inn where they all grew up, along with a surprise birthday party for their mother’s seventieth—but Rina is resentful toward her family that is no longer in her life and refuses to go.
That is, until a woman appears in her life with news that rocks her world forever.
Now, Rina runs toward Islamorada, as a means to escape the secrets that swirl back home—revolving around her husband and another life he might have had that had nothing at all to do with Rina and the boys. As she dives into the once-familiar beauty of the island, she reconnects with old friends, with her sister Holly and her endearing brother, Randy. She finds a level of peace she didn’t expect and shoves her secrets down deep.
Soon, through a series of strange circumstances—and a wedding she’s decided to help coordinate after the last-minute drop-out of the event planner—she finds herself face-to-face with the ever-handsome, high-school-sweetheart turned chef, Steven.
But no matter how fast she runs, secrets have a way of catching up to her.
That could be said for everyone in the Archer clan. It’s safe to say their time is running out.

The Archer’s only son faces the truth and fights to heal the wounds in a family haunted by the past.
Randy has always felt like the misfit of the family. Yes, he’s the one who stayed behind—and yes, he was always “there” for his mother and father when they needed him. But after his terrible divorce, his wife trying to take his girls, and then the death of his father—he turned to alcohol and found his life slipping away.
But everything in Randy’s life is about to change.
Holly, Rina, and Amy have all returned home to pick up the pieces of their lives and build new chapters. Holly, the ever-responsible one, sets to work as head of the Archer Inn, and introduces Randy to the creative and beautiful Marni, a journalist doing research for a book about architecture in the Florida Keys. For the first time in eons, Randy is captivated.
But Marni has secrets of her own, and she’s after a story that will change everything: something that pushes Randy to investigate some of the key people in his life that he trusts the most in his world. As he fights for better relationships with his daughters, assists his sisters in strengthening the Archer Inn, and works day-to-day at the Marina he owns and operates with his best friend, Dean, he senses shifting tides and that something sinister is at play.
It’s clear that the people Randy has trusted the most haven’t had his best interests at heart.
With Marni by his side, Randy fights for a better future—for himself, for his girls, and for his Florida Keys family. On the way, he might have to tear himself in two and rebuild. But isn’t that what growth is all about? It’s a family affair all around.

Rina faces her largest hurdle to date, as she plans her son's wedding at the iconic Archer Inn in the Florida Keys. She just hopes she can pull it off without a hitch..
It’s been a long year for Rina Archer. Tragically, she lost her husband of twenty years to a heart attack, and almost immediately after, she learned about his second family. But with the loving support from her siblings, as well as an old high school flame, Rina is able to put the past behind her, and make a better life for her family. In fact, things are better than ever!
There’s a wedding for Rina to plan, and this time it’s for her oldest son, Trevor and his beautiful fiancé, Shannon. Rina couldn’t be happier with the marriage. It feels as though, after all her struggles over the year, her life is finally getting back on track, and she can’t wait for her family to grow.
But it’s not all flowers and dresses. Shannon’s Maid of Honor turns out to be one of the most inconsiderate people that Rina has ever met, almost as if the girl is intentionally trying to ruin the wedding. As if that isn’t bad enough, Rina can’t seem to get her late husband’s second family off her back, which wouldn’t be so bad if it weren’t for her oldest son, Trevor, having no intention of getting to know those people.
Just when she thinks things can’t get any better, Rina’s world becomes more complicated than ever. And even though she has all the support of her mother, sisters and brother, she knows that she’ll need to fix many of these problems on her own.

A woman on the run from an abusive husband returns to the island she abandoned over twenty years ago.
Amy Archer Ashwood is the younger sister of Holly and Rina Archer and twin sister to Randy. Like her siblings, she has little, if anything, to do with the Archer House where they grew up these days. After waiting till thirty and never meeting Mr. Right, she fell into a runaway marriage and drifted further and further away from her family.
And she turned her back on them for good when the abuse started.
She couldn’t face anyone she knew after that. She was embarrassed. She was frightened. And her husband had told her if she ever left him, he would make her pay.
But all of that changes now.
Holly Archer holds a seventieth birthday party for their mother, Nellie—and it’s the first beacon of light Amy has seen in years. When her husband, a cop, is on a case, she gets in her car and she drives as fast as she can, all the way to Islamorada.
But the bruises haven’t yet faded, and it’s not like Lucy, her siblings, and her mother can go back to how things were before they abandoned each other. Amy struggles to hide her true reasons for her appearance on Islamorada, and finds herself totally enveloped with the family she once loved.
The Archers don’t give up so easily—and it doesn’t take much for them to realize the depths of horror Amy has escaped from.
Slowly, Amy begins to piece together her life. She becomes part-time chef at the Archer House, removes her wedding ring, rekindles old friendships, and even finds herself out to dinner with a handsome old flame, a painter named Noah.
But no matter what, Amy knows she can’t escape her past.
Her husband promised her he would make her pay if she hurt him.
She knows he’s only waiting for the perfect time to attack.
