Dissatisfied with her marriage and career, Julia
Sullivan has left her life in Chicago and is determined
to make a new life for herself, starting with the
renovation of an old beach house left to her by her
deceased aunt. But her husband, Patrick, is not eager to
give her up. Arriving on her doorstep, Patrick offers
his services as a general contractor, anything that will
allow him to be close to Julia.
But while Julia and Patrick attempt to renew their shaky
relationship, sinister “accidents” keep occurring.
First, a trash can fire is set perilously close to the
house. Then, an interrupted burglary and a injured
neighbor present additional complications. Could any of
these events be related to the aunt’s fatal tumble down
the stairs?
As Julia and Patrick muddle through their relationship
woes, their lives are further complicated with
smooth-talking salesmen and seductive women. Can Julia
discover the secrets of her house? More importantly, can
she once again trust her heart to Patrick?
HERE TO STAY was chalk full of adventure and suspense.
The many characters and subplots made the story
intriguing. Just when you thought the drama was over,
another exciting and dangerous event occurs. The
characters of this story were so well-written; each so
distinctly different that you could picture them in
vivid detail. An excellent read!
