THE INHERITANCE
BOOK 1 – The Innkeepers
A novel of βlate-in-life love in vibrant New Orleansβ kicks off a βfemale bonding romance series like the Bride Quartet by Nora Robertsβ (Kirkus Reviews).
Corporate attorney Hannah DuPont-Lowell always pictured herself returning to New Orleans to retireβjust not yet. But after her Manhattan company abruptly lays off its staff, thereβs no better place to figure out a next move than the porch of her plantation-style home, nestled in the stunning Garden District . . .
Β
The DuPont House has been in Hannahβs family for two centuries. With eighteen rooms and two guesthouses, itβs far more home than widowed Hannah needs. Still, it could make a wonderful inn, especially if she can convince her friends and former coworkers Tonya, Jasmine, and Nydia to join in the venture. But in the meantime, Hannah has a high school reunion to attend . . .
Β
College Professor St. John McNair, Hannahβs one-time classmate, is still the finest guy in any room. Between Hannahβs willowy, blonde beauty, and his uncanny resemblance to Marvin Gaye, they make a striking pair. And gradually, their rekindled friendship moves toward romance. Still, Hannah is too bruised by her late husbandβs infidelities to trust a man again. But her friendsβ arrival and encouragement just might show her a path through uncertaintyβstraight to a vibrant, joyful new life . . .
