The Accidental Inheritance

Lucy Finch never expected to inherit a crumbling country hotel from a woman she had never met. There is only one problem—she must live there for six months and manage it alongside the late owner’s infuriatingly handsome grandson, Alexander Blackwood.

Bellweather Hotel comes with leaking ceilings, eccentric residents, secret passages and a cat named Satan. It also holds dangerous family secrets someone is determined to keep buried.

When threatening messages, mysterious fires and clues connected to Lucy’s late mother begin appearing, Lucy and Alexander are drawn into a decades-old mystery. To save Bellweather—and themselves—they must uncover the truth before their unexpected inheritance becomes deadly.

Filled with humour, slow-burning romance and surprising twists, The Accidental Inheritance is a charming romantic mystery about family secrets, inconvenient attraction and discovering that the greatest inheritance may be the place where you finally belong.
