Sometimes to escape a bad situation, you have to grit your teeth and bare your clause. 

When competing hotel owners, the Carlyles, attempt a takeover of the former Brubaker hotel, now The Point Resort and also Kelsey Donigan’s second home, the front desk manager discovers long buried secrets between the two families. Better yet, she uncovers an escape clause that not only prevents a takeover, but may also overtake generations of animosity between the two families.

Kelsey finds an ally in the most unlikely of locals. Hotel heir Oliver Carlyle’s devotion and determination to honor his mother’s final wishes places him in direct opposition with his powerful family.

Can the star-crossed couple save the historic, beachfront hotel or will they lose each other in the process?

A Real Location that Inspired Escape Clause
by Mary Billiter

In May 2016, I was recovering from my second major surgery in the treatment of my breast cancer. My husband, Ron brought my children to the hospital each day of my recovery. At night he’d return. He wanted to ensure that if I ever woke I wouldn’t be alone. 

My spirits were fading with each surgery. Ron knew and arrived one evening with a Starbucks coffee and his cell phone. 

He scrolled through pictures of his beloved Oregon coast –and specifically Newport.

“We’ll go there.” He spoke in terms of a future I wasn’t as convinced existed.

Still, when visiting hours ended, I’d be alone in my hospital room with my thoughts. I turned them to the Oregon Coast. I dreamt about rushing toward the ocean with my arms outstretched like I could catch the white-capped waves. That dream got me through myriad lonely nights at the hospital.

So when my husband of three years brought my little boy and me to the coast with his Oregon-based family it was better than anything I had imagined. The Oregon coast was a respite and renewal.

We toured Yaquina Head lighthouse and I knew then that it was where romance began and ended. As we drove away from our week-long vacation, I began writing this story.

I returned home where I failed another mammogram and endured more painful procedures. But the Oregon Coast had revived my spirits. 

And by December, I was victorious in my battle against breast cancer. It gave my family the happily ever after we long sought.

So “Escape Clause” is for every breast cancer survivor and those still in the fight. Don’t give up. The best is yet to come.

And for those that want a little escapism, this book is for you!
