The French Guesthouse

Escapist adventure from the author who sets romances in far-flung destinations
— Best magazine

Sometimes the only way to rebuild is to face the past you tried to escape…

On the night Fliss loses everything – her beloved hotel ravaged by fire and fiancé exposed as a cheat – she receives devastating news: her estranged mother has died. They hadn’t spoken in fifteen years and Fliss has stayed away for her own self-preservation.

Summoned to a dilapidated guesthouse in France for the reading of the will, Fliss is stunned to discover she has been left all her mother’s possessions. But the inheritance comes at a price – both literal and emotional. Sharing the house is Etienne, her mother’s grief-stricken, wine-soaked partner, and his guarded yet magnetic nephew, Benoit.

As Fliss begins restoring the guesthouse, she unearths long-buried secrets about her mother, their past and the true cost of her long absence. But to move forward, cure her guilt and claim the love and happiness she’s never thought she deserves, Fliss must first reckon with the hardest question of all: can she forgive?
