About This Book
Brooke Murray is looking for an escape.
Breaking away from her small town to go away to college, she thought she'd finally made it. For someone like Brooke--smart, sexy, bold, and confident--the sky should have been the limit. But a mere five years later, she found herself right back where she started: living in her parents' apartment in the same little town in the middle of nowhere.
Though she'd rather be just about anywhere else, Brooke is determined to help her parents save the inn they nearly bankrupted. With this heavy responsibility on her shoulders, Brooke has little time--or inclination--to put much effort into her love life. Instead, she relies on her best friends, Emily and Paul, for companionship and support, and relegates the men in her life to the role of drinking buddies and one-night stands.
Brooke is perfectly happy with this arrangement until a new guest at the inn challenges everything she once thought about love. John is gorgeous, sophisticated, and exciting, and it looks like he might be hanging around for much longer than a weekend visit.
But when hidden mistakes from the past surface, the inn's very survival is threatened--and John himself may be involved in its imminent downfall. Suddenly forced to question everything she ever assumed about her small-town life, Brooke must now take a closer look at what is truly important to her. In doing so, she will find that true love is not nearly as complicated or scary as she thought--and may be much closer to home than she ever imagined.
