Two sworn enemies. One failing hotel. Love is the last thing they need...
It's the busiest time of the year, and Forest Manor Hotel is quite literally falling apart. So when sworn enemies Izzy and Lucas are given the same shift on the hotel's front desk, they have no choice but to put their differences aside.
The hotel won't stay afloat without some sort of miracle. But when Izzy returns a guest's lost wedding ring, the reward convinces management this might fix everything. With four rings still sitting in lost property, the race is on for Izzy and Lucas to save their beloved hotel - and their jobs.
As their bitter rivalry turns into something much more complicated, Izzy and Lucas begin to wonder if there's more at stake here than the hotel's future. Can the two of them make it through the season with their hearts intact?
In this classic British mystery, a revised will, a troubled
upper-class marriage, and a crazed witness shake up a seemingly
solved murder case. Marion Grey is growing used to the idea that
her husband will never leave prison. After the horrors of a very
public trial she's almost able to find relief in her resignation.
But when new evidence suggests her husband may be innocent after
all, she hires a professional--Miss Maud Silver--to clear his name.
It begins with a chance encounter on a busy train, when a friend of
Marion's meets a half-mad woman who claims to know something of the
Grey case. With her is a man who disappeared during the trial--and
may have information that could set Marion's husband free. But who
is he, and where has he gone? To find out, demure
governess-turned-detective Miss Silver must track him down before
becoming a victim herself. In a series that's a delightful blend of
Downton Abbey and Agatha Christie, retired schoolteacher and sleuth
Miss Silver "has her place in detective fiction as surely as Lord
Peter Wimsey or Hercule Poirot" (Manchester Evening News).
The "marvelous" British governess-turned-sleuth helps a new bride
who fears her husband intends to murder her (Daily Mail). Former
schoolteacher Miss Maud Silver is on her way back to London when,
with a violent shudder of the train, a young woman is thrust into
her compartment. She's beautiful, well dressed, newly married, and
wealthy--a lethal combination. In a state of shock, Lisle
Jerningham explains that she fled her home in a hurry after
overhearing a sinister conversation. Her new husband's first wife
died in an apparent accident, and the resultant infusion of cash
saved his family home. Now, he's broke again--and attempting to
engineer a second convenient mishap. Miss Silver is unsure whether
the drama is real or a figment of Lisle's imagination--but if this
frightened young lady is a target for murder, the killer will have
to deal with the governess-turned-sleuth first. Starring a mature
sleuth who "has her place in detective fiction as surely as Lord
Peter Wimsey or Hercule Poirot", In the Balance is a classic
British mystery (Manchester Evening News).
Governess-turned-sleuth Miss Silver must follow a trail of
poison-pen letters to save an heiress from murder. Rachel Treherne
has always had a steady head on her shoulders; it's why her late
father named her the sole trustee of his considerable fortune. But
the decision galled a number of Rachel's relatives, including her
married older sister, her socialist nephew, and her father's
ambitious young cousin. Rachel fears she may be overreacting to the
anonymous letters she's received threatening her life, but then
someone tampers with the chocolates she bought herself. If her
cousin hadn't partaken first and noticed an unwholesome taste, who
knows what may have happened? Miss Silver suspects someone in
Rachel's inner circle has grown tired of being a poor relation, and
she travels incognito to the Treherne country home to unmask the
culprit--before it's too late--in this intriguing entry in the
beloved series featuring a contemporary of Agatha Christie's Miss
Marple. Lonesome Road is the 3rd book in the Miss Silver Mysteries,
but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

Hallie Woods works at her dream magazine in NYC, so when she's given
her very own column, she can't believe her luck - even if it is a
little unconventional. Hallie must find and date the hottest guy on
Wall Street, trust fund, 6'5, blue eyes and all, and document every
moment of it. But as she flirts with all of the gilet clad men she can
find, there's one who keeps getting in her way.
On paper, James Rossi is the typical finance bro. But, after being
burned by an ex-girlfriend who used him for his money, he's also
fiercely protective of himself, and his friends. So when he realises
there's a girl in his favourite bar every Thursday, trying to flirt
with his colleagues as fodder for an article, he decides to sabotage
her plans.
But as Hallie and James clash week after week over their whiskey sodas,
their dislike for each other turns into something more. Hallie might
have found her man in finance, but she also has a choice to make. Will
she continue to write her article, or take a chance at true love?
She's the city girl who refuses to be saddled with a man. He's the
cowboy who wants her anyway.
The last thing Ada Hart needs is a man to take care of her. Not
anymore. After failing out of her interior design program and the
disaster that was her short-lived marriage, Ada clawed her way up from
her rock bottom. Now, the only person she trusts is herself, and that
has gotten her further than ever before. She has her own business, and
one of the largest ranches in Wyoming just hired her for the most
important project of her career.
When Ada arrives in Meadowlark, she finds herself in a dive bar where
she can't seem to shake the eyes of a handsome cowboy. When she leads
him to the back of the bar, he leaves her with a kiss that most people
can only fantasize about. She almost regrets that she'll never see him
again...except it turns out he's her new boss.
Weston Ryder is a happy guy. Even happier now that the mystery woman
from the bar is the interior designer for his dream project on his
family's ranch. He feels like he hit the jackpot. Too bad she wants
absolutely nothing to do with him outside of work. Ada is convinced the
pull she feels toward Wes will go away, but Wes can't stop thinking
about her. Even though walls are coming down around Rebel Blue, Ada's
walls are firmly in place.
Can they make it through this project without giving in? Or will they
both put their dreams on the line for a chance at love?
