<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Lara Clarke, a spoiled heiress with an affinity for mojitos, Manolos, and mischief. Her grandfather's legacy, an environmental utopia off Canada's West Coast. The will that places it all in Lara's couture-clad lap. What could go wrong? Welcome to Planet Lara, a new series rich in family drama, laughs, romance, intrigue, and yes, an awesome dog.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>"There are ... stipulations on your inheritance, Ms. Clarke."</strong></p><p><br></p><p>Lara J. Clarke is used to getting her own way. Motherless at ten and raised by her oft-absent eco-warrior/philanthropist grandfather, she lives the high life afforded by her seemingly bottomless trust fund-swanky downtown Vancouver loft, apartments and villas around the world just a chartered flight away, a passport overflowing with stamps from the chicest hot spots, a closet bursting with catwalk couture, and a spoiled B-list actor boyfriend whose interest in Lara is tied to her exclusive L'Inconnu wallet.</p><p><br></p><p>That is, until Grandfather Archibald sheds his mortal coil in a very public manner, and Lara's privileged life is set adrift-and headed for a collision course with the gorgeous, private Thalia Island off the coast of British Columbia. According to the will, Lara will step into the role of Project Administrator, wherein she has one year to fulfill her late grandfather's dream of a self-sustaining, eco-friendly, family-centered utopia.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>The stakes are real: fail, and lose access to the family fortune-forever.</strong></p><p><br></p><p>Convinced Thalia Island will be an extension of the heiress lifestyle she's long led, Lara is surprised to find her new coworkers-and neighbors-aren't as pliable as the underlings of her former life. Even with the hunky lead engineer Finan Rowleigh showing her the ropes, Lara quickly learns just how unprepared she is to trade her Louboutins for steel-toed Timberlands.</p><p><br></p><p>When a series of calamities reveals a sinister element undermining the security of the island and her residents, Lara and Finan must reach beyond their job descriptions to protect Archibald's precious utopia from those who would do her harm.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>And while keeping her late grandfather's flame alight, Lara finds her own flame burning hot for a charming, kind man who wants nothing from her but her heart.</strong></p><p><br></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Smart, hilarious, and completely unpredictable, <strong><em>Welcome to Planet Lara</em></strong> is your next must-read.
