Shelby Morris decided to come to Holiday Bay after receiving a huge inheritance from a woman she'd never met.
The Bistro, which consists of a restaurant, bar, and live music platform, was exactly the sort of project Shelby needed to find her footing in the new life she was still trying to fit into. She knows she'll need help, so she enlists the help of new chef and frequent guest to The Inn at Holiday Bay, Amy Hogan, as well as parttime waitress and longtime local Nikki Peyton. Together with the staff and regular customers that seemed to have come with the place, Shelby is certain she'll be able to create something special.
In book 2 in the series, it's Halloween in Holiday Bay and the staff at the Bistro will play host to their first holiday event. Things are right on track until a new witch arrives in town and a mysterious visitor turns up dead, plunging the town into chaos and throwing a wrench into the carefully orchestrated plans Shelby and her staff had worked so hard to put into place.
