The Sandy Clause

<p><em>Twelve days. No phone no work no escape.</em></p><p>Ellie Martin has everything figured out-or so she thinks. As one of Sydney's most formidable corporate lawyers she's built her life on ambition and airtight contracts leaving her estranged family and her own feelings far behind. But when her enigmatic grandfather passes away his will tosses her into the ultimate legal loophole: inherit his coastal shack and a life-changing sum but only if she agrees to live there for twelve unplugged days.</p><p>The catch? Ellie isn't alone. Finn O'Connor a laid-back local with ties to her grandfather-and his own claim to the shack-stands firmly in her way. As sparks fly and secrets unravel their forced cohabitation in the sleepy surf town of Banksia Bay forces Ellie to confront not only Finn's easy charm but the possibility that her grandfather's final wish was about more than real estate.</p><p>With her career teetering and old wounds reopening Ellie must decide if home is just a place on the map-or the messy sun-drenched community she never knew she needed. Will the Sandy Clause lead her to everything she's been missing or will she lose it all for good?</p>
