#1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts introduces you to the Montgomery brothers—Beckett, Ryder, and Owen—as they bring an intimate bed-and-breakfast to life in their hometown.
The historic hotel in Boonsboro has endured war and peace, the changing of hands, and even rumored hauntings. Now it’s getting a major face-lift from the Montgomery brothers and their eccentric mother. As the architect in the family, Beckett’s social life consists mostly of talking shop over pizza and beer. But there’s another project he’s got his eye on: the girl he’s been waiting to kiss since he was sixteen.
After losing her husband and returning to her hometown, Clare Brewster soon settles into her life as the mother of three young sons while running the town’s bookstore. Though busy and with little time for romance, Clare is drawn across the street by Beckett’s transformation of the old inn, wanting to take a closer look…at both the building and the man behind it.
With the grand opening inching closer, Beckett is happy to give Clare a private tour—one room at a time, in between blueprint meetings and kindergarten pickups. It’s no first date, but these stolen moments are the beginning of something that could arouse the secret yearning that resides in Clare’s independent heart—and open the door to the extraordinary adventure of what comes next…

"I loved the story and I want to move to this place and be friends with these people. That said I feel like the story lines are getting a bit stale. Most of her stories come off as exactly the same just with different names."

— Wren, 10/28/2013" I love Nora Roberts' writing as J.D. Robb, but this book (while entertaining, because they usually are) was pretty shallow compared to the detail and humor with which she usually writes. "
— Catherine, 10/26/2013" I really liked that the guy was the one with the long-standing crush in this book. A little change of pace from the typical romance. Looking forward to reading the other books in the series. "
— Danise, 10/23/2013" I will disclaim that I quit at 28% I usually love Nora- so disappointed. I did not care about the characters, they were boring & one dimensional. The language of the men was offensive & a real turn off. Ths story was dragging on- so I quit. "
