Roger had reserved one of the charter boats for the day to get them out to the island, along with his parents, Sophie’s Uncle Curtis and Aunt Nan; their daughter, Tracy; and their granddaughter, Ellie.

“Ellie graduated from high school this year,” Tracy said, “and she just returned from a summer backpacking in Europe.”

“How exciting!” Sophie said.

Once they reached the boat, Sophie determined to focus on reconnecting with her Platsky family. They were mostly easy-going, fun-loving people, so it wasn’t hard. She liked the looks of this new young cousin she’d never met. Ellie was short, curvy, and blond like her mother—like most of the Platskys, really. Sophie’s looks were so much darker, like her father’s family. Looking at Ellie and Tracy, Sophie realized she was going to really stand out at the reunion, as she always did in Sitka when she was younger. Luckily, they made their Latino cousin feel like one of the gang.

“And she’ll have to tell us all about Europe,” Cathy jumped in, “but you’ll have plenty of opportunities to hear it. Ellie’s going to come work with you as an assistant in the Cookie Jar, Sophie.”

Sophie’s heart lightened immediately. “Wonderful! Do you have much experience in baking?”

“Just the basics, but I do like to bake. Nothing like Aunt Cathy. She says you can teach me.”

The smiling faces around Sophie made her feel loved, supported, and needed. She wished her mother were here to see them. “I’m sure you’ll learn quickly. I’m really so glad I’ll get to know you better, Ellie, and frankly, I was getting nervous about running things on my own.”

“I wouldn’t leave you without help,” Cathy said. “Remember Uncle Wade’s daughter, Marcy? She’ll be on the island today. Her two kids—”

“Marcy has two kids?” Sophie interrupted. “How’s that possible? She’s my age.”

“She does, and the youngest will be in school all day this year, so she’s going to come help at the bakery, too.”

“That sounds perfect.”

Sophie was so busy enjoying family, she forgot to watch for whales or even enjoy the scenery as they passed through the harbor and around several islands. It wasn’t until Roger announced that they had arrived that she looked up to see their destination.

What had she expected of an island owned by a billionaire? She didn’t have any experience with people like that, but she realized looking at the house set up high on the island that she’d been expecting a castle.

This wasn’t a castle, but it was huge, and gorgeous, and did have one turret. Three stories tall, the edifice—which jutted out in interesting directions—seemed to be covered in windows, but the remaining exterior was painted dark grey with white trim and textured stone. Off to one side, a sturdy dock stuck out into the water. The situation and landscaping were breathtaking.

“It’s beautiful! I don’t understand how someone could have a place like this and not live in it full time.”

Roger shook his head. “You know rich people. Always have someplace new to be.”

“I don’t know rich people, but … wow.
