About this series
Just because she grew up in Finch's Crossing doesn't mean she should go back . . .
In this short novel, we meet Kayla Mitchell, whose days as the manager of a large hotel in California are all the same. The guests may be different, but they all have identical complaints: The towels are too small, the housekeeper forgot to leave a second bar of soap, the sundries in the gift shop are too expensive. Every day Kayla wears the same conservative pinstriped hotel manager suit. She has the same conversations with her staff. She orders the same inventory every week.
It's been ten years since Kayla graduated from college with a degree in hotel management and started climbing the corporate ladder. Somewhere along the way she let go of her dream to run a small inn.
She longs for sparkle and color. And she know she'll never find it at the Global Arbor Hotel and Suites.
So when an uncle in her hometown of Finch's Crossing, Pennsylvania, calls with an offer she can't refuse, Kayla empties her bank and investment accounts and sells her condo to buy the Greystone Manor Inn.
Before she can say "Welcome to the Greystone Manor Inn," Kayla is back in Finch's Crossing where she spent the first seventeen years of her life.
But things aren't as cozy and perfect as she imagined. Her staff isn't exactly thrilled that she's taken over ownership, and someone is bent on sabotaging everything she does. Everyone except Chapman. No last name. Chapman is some kind of mysterious fixer. And he's the only one on her side.
Her parents have practically disowned her, which Kayla knows has something to do with why her family suddenly left Finch's Crossing when she and her sister Kaitlin were in high school.
And then there's her first big private event at the Greystone. A prominent Pittsburgh family has rented the entire property for a weekend. Kayla is going to have to put on her big girl manager pants to handle that crew, and an unwelcome blast from the past.
When the sabotage turns dangerous, it's time to thrown in the towel and head back to California? But is it? Or is that what she wants people to think?
If you enjoy wholesome and heartwarming stories that celebrate the charms of small-town life, you'll love this next installment in the Finch's Crossing series where the beloved characters from the first four books welcome new residents to their tiny hamlet.

I’m an American girl who grew up overseas, riding elephants in Thailand, dancing around the Maypole in Sweden, drinking tea in the United Kingdom, and touring castles across Europe. In these foreign (to me) and exotic locales, books were both my anchor and my escape. They connected me to my native land (and English-speakers in general), while introducing me to worlds even more awesome than the ones I lived in. Fast forward to present day in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where I am the author of the small-town romance series Finch’s Crossing, seven non-fiction books for young adults, and the young adult novel, Stealing Away. In addition to writing fiction, non-fiction, and my blog, I support fellow indie authors by reviewing indie books.
