She inherited a mystery that might prove deadly to unpack... Alone and adrift after her mother's death, Juliet Morrison finds a cryptic note in her childhood home that leads her to a surprise inheritance several states away. A family legacy awaits her at the Lakeside Inn, where the grandmother she never knew built a livelihood and safe haven for her family. But Juliet has inherited more questions than answers, left to deal with her mother's mysterious past-and one surly inn manager. Henry Walker's diligent, steadfast nature saved the Lakeside Inn from ruin when Juliet's grandmother fell ill, and he's sure as hell not going let some clueless heiress walk in and risk the jobs of everyone there. His sharp tongue ensures Juliet's welcome is far from warm as he makes it clear he wants her gone, but their plans to avoid each other are dashed when they realize he's the only person who knew her grandmother well enough to help Juliet uncover her roots. As they move past their rocky start, Juliet and Henry will have to work together to unpack the secrets of her mother's abrupt departure from town. Those initial sparks of animosity flare into an irresistible attraction with each passing day, but the shadows of her mother's past are resurrected when threats are made against Juliet. Suddenly, her newfound love isn't all that's in danger. A killer is on the loose, and solving the mystery of her mother's past is the only way to stop him. If they fail, every sacrifice her family made will be wasted-and Juliet will pay the ultimate price.
