title: The Country Club
author: Bromke, Elizabeth
description: No membership fees. No tee times. And HOA. Welcome to the Country Club, a countryside cottage for friends...  Meryl Preston is floating in the wake of her parents' deaths. Left with little more than a ramshackle country house they rented out to vagrants, she has two choices: let her inheritance go into foreclosure or make a go of turning the boarding house into something with charm and style. But time is running out, and she needs fast cash to make a go of flipping the storied property…  Delia Astor had everything. Perfect husband. Perfect house. Perfect life. Until the morning she finds divorce paperwork waiting next to her espresso machine. Now Delia needs a place to stay while she figures out how she lost it all. Lucy Spaur is sailing comfortably into her golden years… until her daughter wants to pull the plug on her independence. Nervous that Lucy isn't capable of living alone any longer, Marcia tells her mother she has two choices: move into an assisted living home or find a roommate. Stubborn to the core, Lucy won't settle for either. That's when she discovers a quaint countryside room for rent. The Country Club is a standalone women's fiction featuring three new friends, each in a different phase of life and each determined to make the most of it. With a dash of romance and hint of mystery, this story follows Meryl, Delia, and Lucy as they bring to life an old rental and turn it into something more than a place to a live, but also a place where they are proud to gather. Readers can enjoy novels in the Gull's Landing series in any order. The Summer SocietyThe Garden GuildThe Country Club
