Meet Me at The Grand: A Jonathon Island Novel

The Jonathon Island series is created by USA Today bestselling, award-winning author Susan May Warren.

The last thing she needs is for some big-city know-it-all to destroy everything she loves…

Tourism director Dani Sullivan is desperate to save her island home from bankruptcy—and that means rebuilding the Grand Sullivan Hotel, a once-glorious hotel that burned to the ground ten years ago. And, in the aftermath, tore apart her family. So yes, she’ll bring in an outside developer to help ignite the project. But his too-modern, out-of-touch vision isn’t at all what Jonathon Island needs…or is it?

It’s his last chance to get everything he wants…and she’s standing in the way.

Architect Liam Stone isn’t a fan of small towns located in the middle of nowhere. But when his about-to-retire father hands him the assignment to rebuild the Grand, it’s his chance to prove he can take over the company. Only problem—the stubborn tourism director-slash-protector of Jonathon Island refuses to see things his way.

Maybe Liam can change her mind. Except Dani’s plan is the same. Change Liam’s mind, make him see what he might be missing. Hopefully without getting her heart involved.

And when another builder shows up with big plans…suddenly Liam sees what’s at stake, and it isn’t only the Grand Hotel. But is it too late to save everything he’s started to love?

It’s a battle for the future of Jonathon Island in this heartwarming fish-out-of-water, rivals, and fresh-starts small-town romance, the first in the Jonathon Island series.

City mouse/country mouse (or big-city guy, small-town girl)
