A shared inn, a second chance

In Eureka Springs, Arkansas, a neglected bed-and-breakfast brings Molly and Robin back into each other’s orbit seven years after their marriage ended. Once the inn was a destination for queer travelers; now the former couple must decide how to restore it, sell it, and divide what remains of their shared life. Their renovation plans are complicated by competing claims to the property, escalating pranks, and a renewed attraction. The inn’s repair gives this romance a concrete setting for questions of ambition, separation, and whether an old partnership can take a new shape.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers seeking a lesbian second-chance romance between former spouses.
  • Readers interested in a small-town setting, an inn renovation, and queer community.

Book overview

LAMBDA LITERARY AWARD FINALIST - "A small-town second-chance romance that celebrates the joy of art, food, and chosen family with a scorching hot love story impossible not to root for."--Amy Spalding, bestselling author of For Her Consideration

Two exes reunite to fix up and sell the bed-and-breakfast that destroyed their marriage--because some dreams, no matter how dusty or broken, deserve a second chance.

Their love story is a bit of a fixer-upper.

As newlyweds, Molly and Robin made the Hummingbird Inn into a trendy destination for queer travelers in the quirky mountain town of Eureka Springs, Arkansas. But when their career ambitions drove them apart, the young couple separated, handed over the property's upkeep to a management firm, and never looked back.

Seven years later, Molly and Robin return to the Hummingbird Inn for very different reasons. Molly is an artist on the rise who's been commissioned to create pieces in Eureka Springs; Robin is a celebrity chef whose restaurants have gone belly-up. Both feel entitled to their shared property, furious that the other refuses to leave, and each resorts to a series of escalating pranks in the hopes of scaring the other off. When neither woman budges, they resolve to renovate the bed-and-breakfast together, sell it, and at last go their separate ways. But their work to restore the inn's vintage charm reignites memories--and chemistry--that make it hard to say goodbye.
