Exes & Other Unexpected Guests

Handsome guests are off limits. Or at least they should be.

Hadley Williams loves three things: her job at the Honeybrook Inn, her small hometown of Elmhurst, and the childhood house she’s desperate to buy back before it’s sold to someone else. Losing that house would mean losing the last place that still feels tied to the life she used to have—before her best friend died, before her parents moved away, and before the boy she loved disappeared without a goodbye.

So when the town’s infamous cranky orange cat starts being nice to Liam, Hadley refuses to read anything into it. Nevermind the local legend claiming the fluffy menace can predict when people are about to fall in love.

Liam Saunders is only in Elmhurst temporarily, while he helps his stepbrother clean out and renovate the house he unexpectedly inherited from an abusive father. But the longer he stays at the Honeybrook Inn, the harder it becomes to ignore the woman who makes Elmhurst feel like a place he could call home.

And just when Hadley finally decides to risk her heart again, the ex who vanished years ago suddenly returns—bringing old wounds, unanswered questions, and consequences that could change everything.
