by L. M. Southwick (Author)
Claire Dawson came to The Lantern House Inn for a quiet break from her tidy, irritatingly predictable life. The place may not be the height of modern luxury, but it's in her budget and has all the things an autumn retreat should: pumpkins on the steps, the warm smell of baking bread, wood smoke in the air, and a certain overly-friendly innkeeper who seems determined to make her stay... unforgettable.
Eli Foster has enough on his plate keeping the recently inherited Lantern House afloat without falling for a woman who's only passing through. But Claire is trouble in soft sweaters and stubborn smiles, and the more time they spend together, the harder it is to remember why keeping his distance seemed like a good idea.
The Lantern House has a knack for drawing people in and making them want to stay... sometimes with a little help from the ones who never left. And it is determined to make sure Claire and Eli figure it out before it's too late.
