Chapter Ten

Kendall pushed the hold button on the third call and answered the incoming one. “Love on a Dime. Can I take your number and call you back?”

“May I speak to Kendall Mayes?”

Kendall wrapped her hand around her lukewarm coffee mug. She’d planned on starting the day slowly with some time spent drinking the caramel latte she’d made a special stop for at the cute, local shop, Fair Tradewinds Coffee. She counted the treat as her reward for all her hard work over the past month, but it looked as though a relaxing morning wasn’t going to happen.

“Speaking.” She bit her lip and watched the blinking lights signaling the other waiting callers. The first one was a radio station from the nearby large city of Brookside wanting to schedule an on-air interview to showcase her company. The second was Joel Palermo, a Goose Harbor firefighter trying to schedule a sunset cruise date as a surprise for his girlfriend. The third was an energetic couple from Ohio who wanted her to plan an entire weekend for them full of what they called “romantic dune camping.” Kendall wasn’t sure how romantic camping on the dunes could be, but she’d research it and plan them the perfect getaway anyway.

Ever since Jason’s article about Love on a Dime had run in the paper and had been featured on a few travel websites, business had been steady. More than steady. It was beginning to take over all her time. So much so that Kendall was considering the possibility of hiring an assistant soon. Who knew one little article could create such a stir? Then again, Jason had warned her that he’d be submitting his work for larger publications to pick up. She should have taken him seriously. Or maybe Sesser had other favors to call in with newspapers and that was why she was getting so much publicity. Whatever the reason, Kendall was thankful.

“My name is Sandy. I’m one of the feature writers for Midwestern Traveler. Have you heard of us?”

Kendall choked on her sip of coffee and started to cough. “I’m sorry.” She caught her breath. “The award-winning travel magazine? You’re only my favorite resource for travel planning! Of course I’ve heard of you.” Midwestern Traveler had been the publication that started her love for Goose Harbor. They’d featured Ring Beach, Goose Harbor’s pristine oval-shaped swim area complete with powdery beaches and calm waves, in their top five places to visit in the entire Midwest, and the next article followed up with a feature dedicated to the tourist town. Those two articles had made Kendall’s decision about where to start her business easy. Goose Harbor had been highlighted as a friendly place filled with beauty. It had lived up to all her dreams.

“We’d like to run a feature on your company.”

“A whole feature article? On me?”

“Yes. I’d planned an outing to Goose Harbor for this weekend before I heard about your business, and now it seems like perfect timing. Would you be able to meet me for an interview?”

“Yes.
