The Inn Between Us

Forced proximity. Fake dating. One bed. One inn that won't stop testing them.

Ava Winslow doesn't do messy.
She does plans, spreadsheets, and clean exits.

Graham Wilder doesn't do temporary.
He does loyalty, hard work, and a small town that never forgets.

When Ava inherits half of Hartwood Inn, she expects a quick sale and a clean break. Instead, she's trapped by a ninety-day clause, a collapsing historic inn, and the one man determined to save it at all costs.

A burst pipe.
A high-stakes review that could make or break the inn.
A town obsessed with gossip and appearances.

Their solution?
Pretend they're together.

What starts as a marketing ploy turns into forced proximity, shared responsibilities, and a chemistry neither of them planned for. Hartwood doesn't just watch. It believes. And the more convincing their fake relationship becomes, the harder it is for Ava to protect the one thing she swore she'd never risk again.

Her heart.
