The Next Always (Book One of the inn Boonsboro Trilogy) by Nora Roberts

Nora Roberts - the World's Greatest Storyteller

The historic hotel in BoonsBoro has endured war and peace, changing hands, even rumoured hauntings. Now it's getting a major facelift from the Montgomery brothers.

As the architect of the family, Beckett Montgomery's social life consists mostly of talking shop over pizza and beer. But there's another project he's got his eye on: the girl he's been waiting to kiss since he was fifteen.

After losing her husband, Clare Brewster has returned home with her three young sons to run the town's bookstore. Clare finds herself drawn across the street by Beckett's transformation of the old inn, wanting to take a closer look . . . at the building and the man behind it. These stolen moments are the beginning of something new - and open the door to the extraordinary adventure of what comes next . . .
