Al's Goose Is Cooked!
Forced into early retirement, Al Richardson knows what his wife
will say when she hears the terrible news. Millie will insist that
they open their B&B early. Where will that leave him? Carrying
luggage and waiting tables? No way! He needs time to come up with
another plan. With the help of an unlikely accomplice, Al spends
his days scanning want ads and frequenting out-of-town coffee shops
in an effort to hide his secret from all of Goose Creek—including
his wife.
Millie is too busy to notice Al's odd behavior. Between planning a
huge Christmas party and holding tight to the reins of newcomer
Lulu Thacker—whose tacky decorating schemes are sure to infuriate
Main Street business owners—she has no time for anything
else.
One thing is certain: In Goose Creek, no secret stays hidden for
long. The most holy of holidays is swiftly approaching. Is Al in
for a Merry Christmas or a Marriage Crisis?
