Blood and Sand by Jennifer M Lane

Until recently, Logan Cole was one of the richest women in the world. Then her father went to prison for high profile white-collar crimes and the internet made her the villain. At the age of twenty-two, she lost her mansion, her jet, her family, and friends while gaining notoriety as the story made headlines.

Seeking quiet and anonymity until her father puts things right, she takes a bus north to the smallest town she can find. With one red light, one tavern, and one postman, Ramsbolt, Maine seems the perfect place to wait out the storm. But looks are deceiving.

She lies her way into a job at the tavern, but she's hardly prepared for work in a sticky bar serving drinks to demanding residents. The tips are too small to live on, her tiny savings in running dry, and her father's money isn't coming back. Plus Ramsbolt isn't always friendly. There's a grumpy old man who sits at the bar and demands complicated drinks, intent on making her life a living hell.

Then tragedy strikes and threatens the bar, the hub of Ramsbolt's community, and Logan is the only one who can save it.

But saving the bar means giving up her anonymity, throwing herself to the internet trolls and risking the wrath of the town. And doing nothing guarantees that she'll lose the only place she's ever called home.

BLOD AND SAND is the first book in The Collected Stories of Ramsbolt series. Readers will be drawn to Logan as she survives, revives, and thrives alongside the vibrant characters of Ramsbolt.
