Beach house for rent
When Cara Rutledge rents out her quaint beach house on Isle of Palms to Heather Wyatt for the entire summer, it's a win-win by any standard. Cara generates income necessary to keep husband Brett's ecotourism boat business afloat, and anxiety-prone Heather, a young artist, has a quiet space in which to work. It isn't long, however, before both women's idyllic summers are altered irrevocably. When Cara's life reels with sudden tragedy, she wishes only to return to the beach house that had once been her port amidst life's storms. Heather refuses to budge from her newfound sanctuary, and so begins the unlikeliest of rooming situations. While they start out as strangers, as everything around the women falls apart they learn that the only thing they can really rely on is each other.

Summary
Beach House for Rent
Get swept away to the beautiful and breezy Isle of Palms with New York Times bestselling author Mary Alice Monroe's return to her "exceptional and heartwarming" ( Publishers Weekly ) Beach House series, set in South Carolina's lowcountry. Two women. One summer. One very special beach house. Cara Rutledge rents her quaint cottage on Isle of Palms to Heather Fordham for the entire summer. As beautiful as the Isle of Palms is, Heather's anxiety keeps her indoors with her caged canaries as she paints birds for postage stamps. Eventually, however, the shore birds--and a man who rescues them--lure her outside. As the summer progresses and Heather begins to blossom, Cara's life reels with sudden tragedy. She wants only to return home but Heather refuses to budge from her sanctuary. As everything around the ladies is coming apart, they discover they can only rely on each other. Now, the two women who don't really know each other are forced to live together and support each other as they navigate the next chapter of their lives. Featuring Monroe's signature "lyrical, emotional, and gripping" ( RT Book Reviews ), Beach House for Rent demonstrates the power and strength of female friendships.
