When I had last left you we had just arrived in Seaview, Washington. After one of our longest days of driving. We broke up the drive with some great stops, but I had mentioned that it might have taken it’s toll on my youngest and I. Turns out it very much did. We still enjoyed Cannon Beach and the town of Seaside, but it came at a price. By Friday night I was having a hard time breathing and my youngest had developed a fever. On Saturday we were supposed to drive straight to Seattle to spend the day exploring the Space Needle and the Pop Culture museum. Instead we made a pit stop in Tacoma to visit Urgent Care. Three hours, x-rays, and multiple tests later, the doctor says my youngest and I both have pneumonia. She was kinda shocked, which I found funny. We got our medicine and headed to Seattle. At that point though my youngest and I didn’t have the energy to visit the Space Needle and just rested instead. Not for long though. The next day, Sunday, we packed up and made our way up the mountain to Leavenworth. OOHHHH… How could I forget. We stopped in at another urgent care for my hubby. He was starting to show symptoms of pneumonia as well. Thankfully he is all clear. I can’t blame the guy for being worried. So now we are here in Leavenworth. There is a mountain roller coaster with our name it it.

Send help and wine. My sister is trying to set me up with the grump next door.
Claire
A few hours after losing my job, I get a call from a stranger who claims I’ve inherited property from my father. I assume it’s a scam, because my dad is very much alive. Turns out my mother is the liar.
I board a flight to my bio-dad’s hometown, hoping for answers, but the turbulence is so bad I worry we won’t make it. Declan, the hot, tattooed hunk next to me, is obviously terrified too. When the plane freefalls for half a second, he kisses me with the passion of a man who thinks he’s about to die. He seems to regret it immediately afterward — and we both regret it when we discover he’s my new next door neighbor, a complication neither of us wants.
To make matters worse, it turns out my bio-dad’s cabin is only half mine. The rest belongs to a half-sister I didn’t know I had — Nicole, a pink-haired private investigator and possible psychopath.
If I weren’t unemployed and broke, I’d leave, but this crappy half-a-house is my only possession. So I stay in the hopes that I can convince her to sell. Unfortunately, she seems intent on setting me up with Declan, among other manipulations, and her matchmaking tactics are… extreme.
Declan
I came to the mountains to hide and be left alone, and now I’m never alone.
Every time I turn a corner, I run into Claire Rainey. She’s tempting as hell, particularly now that I’ve had a taste of her, but I know better than to wrap her up in my trouble — or get wrapped up in hers.
