Flynn Daly's family is tired of worrying about her. She's
almost 30 years old and they think it's time for her to
settle down, join the family business (managing real estate
deals) and become an adult. She's not interested until she
hears her father's health is suffering; it may be time to
quit trying to find her own way through a variety of
careers.
Flynn's first "opportunity" is managing a historic inn that
was owned by her great aunt. She's supposed to keep it
together until they can sell the inn. But Flynn immediately
becomes involved with the hotel staff, not to mention Jake
Turner who's sexy and annoying. Jake doesn't think Flynn's
aunt died naturally and as an ex-policeman, he should know!
Flynn's not sure she can adapt to the real estate magnate
lifestyle -- she feels guilty that she can't tell the staff
that her father plans to sell. Then she starts seeing her
great-aunt's ghost and well, life is weird. Maybe she's not
cut out for an adult career...
Flynn is an intriguing character; it's fun to watch her
tackle her new lifestyle when her heart really isn't in it.
Some people aren't cut out for big business -- can Flynn
come to peace with that part of herself? Jake's hiding out
from himself, too, and maybe they can find their way
together. You'll be rooting for them and all the secondary
characters in this book -- including the ghost! A fun way to
spend an afternoon.
Flynn Daly is turning thirty. And thirty is the age where
she has to, gulp, get a job. Not just any job, but a job
working for her real estate magnate father, a man who's
tired of supporting his daughter through her many careers.
So when their great-aunt Esther Goodhouse, proprietress of
a historic inn nestled in Nowhere, New York, dies, Flynn
finds herself smack dab in the country, contending with a
hotel staff that's unsure of their new boss, a scruffy,
sexy ex-policeman named Jake Turner who's convinced that
Esther's death wasn't as natural as it seemed, and the
ghost of Aunt Esther herself, who starts showing up in
Flynn's dreams and undoing all the personal touches that
Flynn tries to make to her new home.
