With their ship destroyed in what her brother called a "Wild Sea Surge" Shelby Anne was concerned the locals would not be too keen or able to assist them. In scouring the shore, however, she ran into best friends, Remy Beauregard and Quentin-Douglas Fischer, and the two invited them for dinner.

Shelby shared their plight and Remy was delighted to meet one of the famed Rathbone merchant family. He shared his dream of turning the cove into a bustling business hub. Shelby agreed to help for assistance of her own and exclusive shipping rights. A deal was struck.

Unfortunately, not everything was going as smooth onboard the broken ship hull of the R.M.S. Tybalt. Skylar Bruce was up to his old ways and seeking company with anyone who would give it. Not even a month ashore, and rumors began swirling that he was the father of several children to be. Shelby Anne tried to reign in her brother but that only cause his rage to swell.

The other Eastsider men were content with the women already in their lives. Within the same week, Remy proposed to his childhood sweetheart, April, and Quentin offered a ring to his Highschool crush, Claire. Both quit their jobs to remove to the remote valley and be with their new finances. A few months later, they married.

Shelby Anne was the only one alone, until the day Remy introduced her to another High School friend, Joe London.

Joe was an executive on the board of the Dragon Coast Newspaper, headquartered in Dragon Harbor. He was a frugal and hardworking man and was excited to find the same qualities in Shelby Anne. He would drive to Hoarders Cove to meet Shelby every weekend. Within a few months, Shelby was already showing signs of carrying a child. A week later.

Joe long knew of Remy's plans to develop the valley, but it wasn't until he moved in with Shelby that he had a new dream of opening a branch of the Dragon Coast Newspaper there.

The Eastside was already gaining structure, with the opening of Beauregard's General Store and the hopes of a new newspaper. Would they soon reach recognition by the governor in Dragon Harbor?
