But his job depends on it.
Jim is forced to contact the owner of Casa D'or and in doing so opens up a door to his past that he was longing to keep firmly closed. I can't say too much more as this a novel to be discovered...
There are many things that I loved about the House on Sunset Lake, the setting, the beautiful storyline and it's wonderful (and some not so wonderful characters.
The House on Sunset Lake is a beautifully written novel that will leave you wanting a sequel to find out what just the future might hold for Jim Johnson and his family and friends.
