The Backup Plan follows Alice Moore as she returns to Sunrise Cove, Lake Tahoe, to claim an unexpected inheritance: one-third of the legendary, TV-famous Last Chance Inn. The catch is brutal—Alice, her former best friend Lauren Scott, and contractor Knox Rawlings must restore the inn and reopen it within a month, or forfeit everything. With old wounds still raw—especially after the death of Alice’s brother Will—the forced proximity becomes a pressure cooker.
As renovations accelerate, so do the emotional stakes. Alice and Lauren’s friendship—once unbreakable—crumbles under grief, guilt, and long-buried truths. Knox, steady and relentless, becomes the bridge between them, even as his own past resurfaces. Eleanor’s unsent letters to her estranged sister reveal the hidden motives behind the inheritance, pushing the trio toward honesty, healing, and unexpected love.
