(Three Years Later)

At the suggestion of her agent, and with her first four-book series completed, La Costa and Louis moved from South Carolina to New York City, into a small but comfortable garden apartment in Manhattan, where La Costa could be closer to her publisher and the writing market.

It was beyond thinkable to be leaving Georgia and Splendor Bay, but the writing, so to speak, was on the wall, and the move was what was needed for La Costa to progress with her calling, which was writing salable romance fiction in a highly competitive market. She simply could not continue to divide her time between her writing deadlines and the B&B. She needed to be in New York, in close proximity to her agent and publisher as her career was beginning to pick up momentum. Plus, the time had come for her and Louis to stand on their own feet.

“You know, I am going to miss you and this place like crazy,” La Costa said, holding back tears that rivaled nothing in the world she had ever felt. No other job change or life move had ever packed the punch that leaving Georgia and the business that she had helped to build did.

“It is I who is grateful, my sweet. Go! Be a fabulous success. I expect nothing less,” Georgia said with that twinkle in her eye that never failed to make La Costa believe that anything was possible.

La Costa and Louis climbed in the Town Car that would take them to the airport. The movers had an easy load with just the packing of her and Louis’s personal possessions. It would be a new start, indeed.

Life in New York City was an adjustment, at best, but it was where La Costa needed to be as her career began to take flight, closer to her agent, publisher, and the movers and shakers in the publishing market. At times, promotional and publicity appearances, to which she was contracted, had La Costa traveling from coast to coast, which often compromised much of her scheduled writing time during the week. As a result, she would have to then make it up in the evening hours, after she and Louis had
