Hollie Porter is the chairwoman of Generation Disillusioned. At twenty-five, she's saddled with a job she hates, a boyfriend who's all wrong for her, and a vexing inability to say no. She's already near her breaking point, so when one caller too many kicks the bucket during Hollie's 911 shift, she cashes in the Sweetheart's Spa & Stay gift certificate from her dad and heads to Revelation Cove, British Columbia.One caveat: she's going solo.Hollie hopes to find her beloved otters in the wilds of the Great White North, but instead she's providing comic relief for staff and guests alike. Even Concierge Ryan, a former NHL star with bad knees and broken dreams, can't stop her from stumbling from one (mis)adventure to another. Just when Hollie starts to think that a change of venue doesn't mean a change of circumstances, the island works its charm and she dares to believe rejuvenation is just around the bend. But then an uninvited guest crashes the party, forcing her to step out of the discomfort zone where she dwells and save the day ... and maybe even herself in the process.
raft (noun): when two or more otters rest together, holding hands, so they don't drift apart Hollie Porter has put her old gig as a 911 operator and sad single girl in an attic-bound box, right where it belongs.

After relocating to Ryan's posh resort at Revelation Cove, Hollie embarks on an all-new adventure as the Cove's wildlife experience educator, teaching guests and their kids about otters and orca and cougars, oh my.When darling Ryan gets down on one NHL-damaged knee and pops the question of a lifetime, Hollie realizes this is where the real adventure begins. It's all cake tasting, flower choosing, and dress fittings until a long-lost family member shows up at the Cove and threatens to hijack her shiny new life, forcing Hollie to redefine what family means to her. What is she willing to sacrifice to have one of her very own?As Ryan's words echo in her head-"Our raft, our rules"-Hollie has to face facts: a raft isn't always tied together with blood and genetics. Sometimes it's secured by love and loyalty ... and occasional help from the clever creatures that call Revelation Cove home.

"There are ... stipulations on your inheritance, Ms. Clarke."Lara J. Clarke is used to getting her own way. Motherless at ten and raised by her oft-absent eco-warrior/philanthropist grandfather, she lives the high life afforded by her seemingly bottomless trust fund-swanky downtown Vancouver loft, apartments and villas around the world just a chartered flight away, a passport overflowing with stamps from the chicest hot spots, a closet bursting with catwalk couture, and a spoiled B-list actor boyfriend whose interest in Lara is tied to her exclusive L'Inconnu wallet.That is, until Grandfather Archibald sheds his mortal coil in a very public manner, and Lara's privileged life is set adrift-and headed for a collision course with the gorgeous, private Thalia Island off the coast of British Columbia.
