Holding on to Bluebell Lodge (Love in St Agnes #1) | A Small Town Contemporary Romance Novella | Rachel Bowdler

Synopsis:
At the age of sixteen, Willow ran away and found a new home in St. Agnes, Cornwall, where she was taken in by Bluebell Lodge owner, Laurel. After Laurel’s devastating death nine years later, the lodge is left to Willow, and she soon finds that running it isn’t quite as easy as Laurel had always made it look. Between drowning in bills, stumbling across countless things in need of repair, and managing a chef who causes frequent fire hazards, Willow is barely scraping by, and her biggest fear is ruining everything that Laurel spent her whole life building.

Laurel’s granddaughter, Mags, finally decides to offer her aid — despite her resentment for Willow for being the one to inherit the family business when she believes it should have been left to her. Together, they rebuild the lodge piece by piece and are drawn closer than ever before.

But when secrets are discovered and betrayals revealed, Willow must decide if she can respect Laurel’s wishes and truly make a new home with Mags or if the lodge is destined to slip from her hands once and for all.
