First published 2017
Clara Morgan arrives at Bryant Mountain House with a mission to rebrand the struggling family resort. She lives for transforming desperate hotels and running marathons, but her busy career has left no time for putting down roots. Growing up in foster care means she never learned to build traditions, which draws her to places like the Bryant Mountain House with its generations of family rituals and secret Hot Cross Buns recipe. Archie Bryant owns the charming but crumbling resort and plans to save his family's 150-year legacy the hard way. He refuses to let some branding expert destroy tradition just to attract younger guests. When Clara's ideas start bringing in paying customers, Archie realizes she might be his only chance to keep the doors open. Their clash over old versus new becomes something stickier and sweeter.
