Romance Contemporary

Abby Foster has been left a mansion by a family relative she never knew. Everything is so new to her in the small town called Jewell Cove on the coast of Maine. Everyone knows all the old stories that Abby needs to hear about her secretive part of the family that she never knew. When she comes upon the mansion, it's very run down and needs quite a bit of work, but when she sleeps over night in the mansion, she gets the feeling that something or someone is watching her. It scares her a bit so she takes a room at an inn located in the small town. The longer Abby stays the more information she wants to learn about her family heritage. There are days she wants to run back to Nova Scotia and there are times she wants to start a new life, maybe even here at Jewell Cove.

Tom Arseneault who is a most successful building contractor in Jewell Cove desperately wants the job fixing up the old run down mansion, but he gets off to a bad start with Abby. As time goes by Abby realizes that Tom is the man for the job and hires him. And the more time they spend together at the mansion the sparks fly between them, romance blooms! Will Abby stay in Jewel Cove or run back to Nova Scotia? Must read to find out!

THE HOUSE ON BLACKBERRY HILL is an excellent read by Donna Alward! It is filled with romance and a strong willed young lady who has no one left in her family but a run down mansion with much history and one heck of a handsome contractor working on it for her!

SUMMARY

When a young woman inherits a rundown mansion, the last
thing she expects to find is the key to her heart…

Abby Foster is a fish out of water in the Maine coastal town
of Jewell Cove. The crumbling Foster estate, left to her by
a relative she never even knew, has everyone’s eyes on
herβ€”an eerie reminder of the long-buried family secrets that
have haunted her…forever. Single, stunning, and sometimes
too strong-willed for her own good, Abby’s plan is to sell
the house and hightail it back to Nova Scotia. But another
part of her is intrigued by the idea of starting over
somewhere newβ€”and finally learning the truth about her
heritage.

THE HOUSE ON BLACKBERRY HILL

Enter Tom Arseneault. The best contractor in Jewell Cove,
Tom is determined to restore the beauty and prestige of the
Foster mansionβ€”and maybe even work his charms on its
beautiful new heir. The attraction between him and Abby is
undeniable, and the more time Tom spends on the house the
more he wants to be in it with her. But Abby’s not sure she
can trust himβ€”or anyone in Jewell Cove who seems to know
more about her family history than she does. Home: Is it
really where the heart is after all?
