In a beautiful southern Spanish town, where the sea sparkles and
orange blossoms scent the air, the gates of a brand new apartment
complex, La Joya de Andalucia, glide open to welcome the new
owners. Anna and Austen MacDonald, an Irish couple, are preparing
to enjoy their retirement to the full. But the demands of family
cause problems they have never foreseen and shake their marriage
to the core.
Sally-Ann Connolly Cooper, a feisty Texan mother of two young
teenagers, is reeling from her husband's infidelity. La Joya
becomes a place of solace for Sally-Ann, in more ways than one.
Eduardo Sanchez, a haughty Madrileno, has set out with
single-minded determination to become El Presidente of the
complex's management committee. But pride comes before a fall.
