Contemporary, Small Town, Suspense
Can an hotelier with a past and a chef with a future revive the grand dame in a neglected old inn? Short Blurb: Jim Rawlings takes the biggest chance of his life—bidding at auction for a once-grand inn. Genie King attends the hotel auction, never expecting another LBC employee to bid at the sale—much less the guy she had a major crush on in high school. Working together means Jim must share long-hidden secrets. Will Genie reject the man with a past? Or will she love the man he's become? Short Excerpt: "But you wanted the Inn, didn't you?" Genie placed a tentative hand on his. “Yes—but what I did was crazy.” Jim shook his head. “I spent every dime I had, plus every one you had. Now what do we do?” She let out a long breath. “We do what we’re good at. I’m an outstanding chef. You’re an experienced hotel manager. We’re under forty. We have our health and are extremely motivated to succeed. I’d say we have an embarrassment of riches. Partners?” She extended a hand. A small flame of hope flickered in Jim’s mind. He reached out and squeezed her fingers. “Seriously?” “Yes.” She withdrew her hand slowly and sipped her latte. “Why did you want this place?” “The old girl called to me, begged me to save her.” He gave Genie a wistful smile. “Do I sound crazy?” “You call the Inn ‘she,’ too?” “Yes, she’s like a grand old dame who’s fallen on hard times. Remember the parties? The famous people who stayed and played there? Celebrities came to the Inn because they knew their privacy and secrets were safe with us. If those walls could talk! Every day was new and exciting. I would love to bring back her glory days.” Genie leaped up, ran around the table, and threw her arms around him. “I have the same dream. We can do it.” He hesitated for a moment, then returned the gesture, his hands unable to resist lingering on her luscious curves just a tad too long. Genie’s inviting cleavage made him wish they were somewhere private. He could scarcely breathe and had to shake his head to dispel naughty images of nuzzling her soft breasts. “We can do what?” BUYLINK: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075C7Q2L8 ![]()
