The third in the hilarious yet sizzling hot Hudson Valley
series from New York Time and USA TODAY
bestselling author Alice Clayton.
Clara Morgan is living the dream, if you can call rebranding
hotels that are desperate for a new life and running any
kind of marathon a dream. Which she does. But the career she
loves and the endurance races that keep her adrenaline
pumping have kept her too busy to put down any roots.
Growing up in foster care, she’s never been able to
establish traditions of her own, which may be why she’s
fascinated by the rituals that generations-old family
resorts are known for. She’s especially interested in the
Bryant Mountain House, and not just for their secret recipe
for the yummy, gooey, can’t-get-enough-of Hot Cross Buns….
Archie Bryant, the man with the Buns, is fifth generation
and one-day-owner of the charming yet run-down Bryant
Mountain House in Bailey Falls, New York. He’s determined to
save his family’s legacy from the wrecking ball the
old-fashioned way—by gritting his teeth and doing what needs
to be done. There’s no way Archie will be influenced by the
new hotel branding expert his father brought in to turn one
hundred and fifty years of tradition on its head just to
attract a faster, younger, slicker crowd. But when some of
Clara’s ideas start bringing in new, paying customers,
Archie can’t deny that she may have just given him a shot at
keeping his resort open.
