Nail Polish and Nails

When June, the great-aunt she never knew, leaves Lyssa Pruitt the Fox Hollow Inn, she arrives with a fresh Masters of Hospitality degree, a head full of grand-hotel daydreams, and absolutely no idea how to save a building that's been quietly falling down for thirty years. She has until October to reopen. She has a limited budget, no plan, and exactly one man in the county who can do the period-correct work the old place needs.
Tate Dempsey has already turned the job down twice.
Tate has been the inn's caretaker for thirteen years — patching its roof, replacing its porch boards, leaving his fingerprints in every repair. The woman who left it to a stranger was the only family he ever had. He's certain the dreamy heiress will quit by the first frost. He's certain the inn should have come to him. He's certain, right up until he watches her refuse to give up on a place everyone else wrote off — the same way June once refused to give up on him.
Sunshine doesn't always look like joy. Sometimes it looks like a woman choosing, every single day, not to quit.
But June left more than a building behind. And the sealed envelope waiting at the end has been holding her answer all along.
