Excerpt:
The
Newburys were the richest family in the town of Pelican Cove. Although they
didn’t share the honor of being the ‘first family’, they tried to make up for
it with plenty of wealth. Rumor had it their coffers were full of gold, gold
they had dug up from the sea. They had a sprawling ocean facing estate spread
over ten acres. Unlike most houses in town, it was newly built. Anything built
in the last fifty years was considered new in Pelican Cove.
“But
you’ve been open twenty five years, haven’t you, Petunia?”
“That’s
just how long I owned this café, dear. It was around a long time before that.”
“So
the Newburys never came to the Boardwalk Café?”
“They
got rich in the great storm,” Petunia whispered, leaning forward. “And they
built that big castle of theirs.”
“Upstarts!”
Star snorted.
Petunia
rolled her eyes and turned toward Jenny.
“They
got rich and uppity, I tell you. I guess they thought coming to this café was
beneath them.”
“Then
why have they hired us now?” Jenny asked.
