Star Gazer Inn of Corpus Christi Bay

She’s a fifty-five-year-old widow feeling like she’s lost herself.

On a whim of her aching heart, Alice McIntyre buys the Star Gazer Inn and is looking for a fresh start…something to put a spark back into her life.

But first she has to tell her four sons, who have problems of their own but have smothered her with their protective instincts. She’s lived on the huge South Texas ranch just outside of Corpus Christi since their father carried her over the threshold. She’s raised them on the massive McIntyre Ranch—one of the largest, wealthiest in Texas. It’s been her home and theirs. Will they understand that it’s time for her to leave? Time for her to move on?

Jackson McIntyre is shocked by his mother’s announcement. Guilt-ridden in the aftermath of his father’s accident, Jackson is determined to do whatever it takes to help his mother find her way to move forward. But this new idea of hers has him reeling.

Nina lives next door to the inn and is living a quiet life, keeping a low profile. She has her reasons. Will the opening of the inn and her new neighbors, especially the oldest son of the new innkeeper, tempt her to step back into the light and out of the shadows of her past?

Lisa, Alice’s best friend and recent divorcee, has been traveling the world since the breakup that left her shaken and feeling just as lost as Alice. A brilliant cook with a flair for entertaining, she loves Alice’s idea and joins her to open the inn. But Lisa has her own secrets.

Can these two friends, and their new neighbor Nina, find fresh starts as they ready the Star Gazer Inn for its new beginning?

Will Nina find the courage to take one more chance on love with her new friend’s son?

Three women find friendship and courage on the shores of Corpus Christi Bay. Come visit the Star Gazer Inn, with a side trip to the McIntyre Ranch, as Alice finds her way between two worlds.

This new series follows Alice, her sons, and her friends—and new loves—on the South Texas coast with its sparkling topaz water.

You’ll want to dip your toes in and stay awhile.

Welcome back to Star Gazer Inn. Alice McIntyre’s fresh start after buying the Star Gazer Inn is filling her days, and she’s now ready to open with the help of her best friend Lisa’s culinary skills and uplifting attitude. And her soon-to-be daughter-in-law Nina by her side, too.

And the magic of her new friend and contractor Seth Roark’s tireless attention to detail.

Seth and Alice have both suffered loss, both are starting over, and both are treating this new friendship and attraction they feel toward each other with caution.

Alice’s son Dallas is realizing he may not have what it takes to continue riding in the pro rodeo bull riding circuit. He’s home at the South Texas McIntyre Ranch after injuring his shoulder and checking out what’s going on at his mother’s new inn. When he meets a beautiful woman on the beach under unusual circumstances, he has no idea how his life is about to change…

Meanwhile:

Riley McIntyre is full speed ahead on getting the new "glamping" venue on the ranch’s coastal beachfront property up and going for the ladies who like a little glamor and luxury to their camping experience.

Jackson and Nina are planning their wedding.

Lisa’s past is causing problems and with the opening of the inn, Alice needs her to be focused and her culinary skills to be at their best. Can she handle the pressure?

The Star Gazer Inn is packed as the summer nights cool off, but temperatures are rising as Alice and Seth are exploring a new level of their "friendship" and both are nervous.

Oh the "Glamping" we will do...Riley has more than he bargained for as the venue opens, and the women show up in droves ready to be pampered while roughing it on the ranch's beach side retreat. And the woman he's been hoping he would find just pulled into the park...

Jackson and Nina are expecting...puppies!

And Lisa is not happy when an old flame shows up as a guest at the Inn.

Put your feet up, grab a glass of sweet iced tea, or a glass of your favorite wine and enjoy time on the Texas coast.

Meanwhile, Alice's son Tucker has poured himself into the ranch after losing the love of his life several years ago. He’s watched his mother start over after losing his dad, and he’s watched his brothers find love and happiness. But can he? And then she walks in and sets his world spinning.

Lisa has found satisfaction being the chef at Star Gazer Inn and is so happy for her friend Alice’s newfound love. After her own horrible divorce, she was determined not to ever even date again, but she is having a hard time denying her attraction to her assistant chef, Zane.

Once again, relax on the Texas coast and enjoy your stay as Alice, her sons, and her friends continue to find love on the South Texas coast with its sparkling topaz water.

And now babies are on the way! Let the fun began.

But her friend Lisa hasn’t been so lucky, and as happy as Alice is her heart is hurting for Lisa. But Alice is rooting for the attraction she sees between Lisa and her assistant chef, Zane.

After her horrible divorce Lisa Blair has found satisfaction being the chef at Star Gazer Inn and is delighted about everyone’s newfound love. However, she had no plan about falling in love again herself, then she hired chef, Zane Tyson…and now life has become complicated. Now she’s in trouble, especially after he’s called out on a family emergency and might not ever return.

Zane’s heart is broken after being pushed away by Lisa, the only woman he’s ever loved. Now after a horrible fire, his nephew and his young wife are dead and Zane is called to their baby’s side. A single man all of his life, he is now the baby’s guardian and not sure how to handle it. 

Now what? He’s going to need help so he returns to Star Gazer Island where he knows there will be help from his friends…and maybe Alice.

Also, newly in love Tucker McIntyre and Maggie Carson are moving forward in their romance, taking it slow but steady as everyone is rooting for them.

And then all of Tucker’s brothers and their wonderful wives are expecting babies…hopefully a wedding, and a baby will be in store for him and Maggie.

Don’t miss this trip to Star Gazer Island…romance surrounds everyone!

Yes, Christmas is coming, Alice’s second since finding love again and happily watching her sons do the same. Now her number of grandchildren is growing—and yes, once again, love is in the air.

Chef Lilly Holloway’s career is going great since she became the amazing Chefs’ Lisa and Zane Tyson’s number one backup. Her dream is coming true, but something is missing and she feels it. Now she’s sent to oversee the cooking at the McIntire Camp on the ocean for a favorite group called, “A Glamping We Shall Do”. These are the campers who helped match up Riley McDermott and Sophie as they met when she brought the group to his camp. Now they have a baby and are expecting again and need help at the camp. So Lilly is in for an unexpected Christmas adventure—something she needs since she’s always lost and alone during the holidays while everyone else is spending time with family.

Abe Bradshaw was a cowboy ranch hand on the McIntyre Ranch. He’d been with them for several years and enjoyed his job. But when Riley and Sophie had needed him at the beach side “glamping camps” to lead the horse riding he’d had more fun than he’d had in a long time… but most of the women were older single and never planning to marry or divorced or many had lost their husbands and had now found a new way of having fun. But Abe’s only thirty-five and they’re far older than he’s looking for.

After watching all the McDermott men find love and looking happy as can be, he’s jealous and looking for love is on his mind. So this Christmas he may spend alone in his ranch cabin but before that he’s going to have a Glamping Christmas on the beach with some of the nicest older women around… and long for a miracle that maybe one of them has brought their daughter along…

Don’t miss this trip to Star Gazer Island… as sparkling Christmas lights, soft white snowy sand along pretty blue water and romance surrounding everyone!
