She inherits a failing coaching inn. He wanted it, and the will says it will be his if she fails.
Hannah Fletcher has spent her life as a polite extra guest at other people's tables, until an unexpected inheritance sends her to Willowcross to claim King's Rest, a shabby old coaching inn. Across the muddy road stands the Red Fox, prosperous, polished, and owned by Thomas Redford, a former sergeant who built his success with scarred hands and iron discipline.
At the will reading, Hannah learns the terms: she must personally manage King's Rest through the travel season. If she yields or fails, ownership passes to Thomas. Furious and certain she cannot endure, Thomas offers to buy her out. Hannah refuses.
Then the village turns watchful. A lady running a public house is scandal enough, but when accidents, rumors, and a missing mailbag threaten the Royal Mail contract, suspicion falls hard and fast. Forced into partnership by crisis, Hannah and Thomas discover that shared work at odd hours can turn rivalry into respect, and respect into something neither is prepared to name.
To save King's Rest, they must expose the saboteur who wants Willowcross for profit, and decide whether their future is worth risking everything they have fought to build.
A standalone Regency romance in the Legacies of Fortune and Love series.
