The Smell of Money - Hardcover

The world breaks everybody. The salt takes what it wants.

THE SMELL OF MONEY

Some towns are built. Others are remembered.

Fernandina Beach has always smelled of salt, shrimp boats, paper mills, and honest work.

To billionaire developer Vance Garrett, it smells like opportunity.

When Garrett arrives with plans to transform the historic waterfront into another luxury destination, he expects the town to fall like every place before it.

He doesn't expect Brayden-his own son-to question everything he was raised to believe.

And he certainly doesn't expect an aging shrimper named Suarez.

As old friendships are tested and new loyalties are forged, three generations of broken men must decide what is truly worth leaving behind.

Because progress always has a price.

And sometimes the things that disappear can never be rebuilt.

A heartfelt novella about family, legacy, sacrifice, and the disappearing soul of Old Florida.
