A brooding novelist could win over a plucky innkeeper if he can just handle his baggage in this sweet Southern romance by a USA Today–bestseller.



“[Explores] dark themes about the past interfering with the present while making a delightful tribute to Jane Eyre. . . . An upbeat, empowering, and still sweet novel about balancing community pressure with personal needs.” —Publishers Weekly



Jenny Carpenter is the unrivaled pie-baking champion of Last Chance, South Carolina’s annual Watermelon Festival and the town’s unofficial spinster. With her dream of marriage and children on hold, she focuses on another dream, turning the local haunted house into a charming bed-and-breakfast. But her plans go off course when the home’s former owner shows up on her doorstep on a dark and stormy night . . .

Mega–bestselling horror writer Gabriel Raintree is as mysterious and tortured as his heroes. His family’s long-deserted mansion is just the inspiration he needs to finish his latest twisted tale, or so he thinks until he learns it’s been sold. The new innkeeper proves to be as determined as she is kind, and soon Gabriel finds himself a paying guest in his own home. As Jenny and Gabe bring new passion to the old house, can she convince him to leave the ghosts of his past behind—and make Last Chance their first choice for a future together?



“I absolutely love this series. Every time I pick one up I know I am in for a treat. I love the little town that Hope Ramsay has created. . . . Inn at Last Chance is a little darker than the past books in the series, but it is still a knock-out. There are many twist and turns that will keep the reader hooked and dying to find out what happens next.” —Fresh Fiction
