about the book
She’s fighting to save her island’s legacy. He’s here to secure his family’s future. When their worlds collide, will they build something lasting—or tear each other apart?
Dani Sullivan is determined to revive Jonathon Island’s fading charm and reunite her fractured family. Her plan? Reopen the Grand Sullivan Hotel, a once-impressive landmark that’s been in disrepair for a decade. But without the funds to restore the hotel, Dani’s forced to accept help from Liam Stone—a big-city hotel developer whose sleek, modern vision is everything she’s trying to avoid.
Liam has never been one for small towns or rundown hotels, but this project isn’t just any job. His father’s health is declining, and if Liam can prove himself by turning the hotel around, he’ll finally earn the chance to take over the business so his dad can retire. But Jonathon Island is far from the high-end luxury projects he’s used to, and Dani’s fierce dedication to preserving its history clashes with everything Liam stands for.
As they battle over the future of the Grand, Liam starts to see Jonathon Island as more than just another project—it feels like the home he’s never had. But with his responsibilities pulling him back to Los Angeles, can he really stay? And can Dani trust him with her dream—and her heart?
A lot rides on the success of this project, but when emotions run high, will Dani and Liam find a way to work together—or will their differences tear them apart?
On Jonathon Island, love and loyalty are the ultimate balancing act.

review
come to michigan and revitalize the quaint and charming jonathon island, starting with the grand sullivan hotel!
dani sullivan determines if she can restore jonathon island's economy, she can also restore her family—and all that restoration must start with rebuilding the grand sullivan hotel. it's not small task, but hotel developer liam stone just might be up to it. of course, he and dani have very different ideas of what the hotel should be... as they sort through their differences, they both end up wrestling with the past—and realizing what that means for the future.
meet me at the grand is a sweet start to the jonathon island series (though there's technically a novella i still need to read). i love the mackinac island vibes of the town, and getting to spend time with these characters in that setting is such a pleasure. dani has some serious if-you-build-it-he-will-come-field-of-dreams energy for revitalizing the island in the beginning; her growth is so encouraging as she learns to compromise with liam and that maybe, change isn't always a bad thing. liam, too, has a specific idea for his future and how to achieve his plans, but it's no surprise that this midwestern small-town experience opens him up to new possibilities. (amidst it all, of course, a sweet and swoony romance brews between dani and liam, and it's just so fun.)
if you love contemporary small-town romance, definitely check out meet me at the grand.
