The Room With The Blue Door

Some doors are closed for a reason. Some are waiting for the right person to open them.

Emma Carlisle spent fifteen years making grand hotels look exactly alike. Now her marriage is over, her career is gone, and everything she owns fits in two suitcases and a case of fabric samples. When the elderly owner of the Bellemont Hotel, a fading 1926 landmark on Fifth Avenue, offers her six months to restore it before its hundredth birthday, Emma takes the job and the room on the seventh floor.

At the end of that corridor is a door painted over in beige. Underneath, it's blue.

Adam Reed is the architect hired to bring the Bellemont up to code and make it profitable, and his plans don't leave room for sentiment, or for a sealed room nobody will talk about. But the more time he spends with the designer who argues about ceilings and strips paint with a putty knife, the harder it is to remember why he stopped believing in things worth keeping.

Then a luxury developer comes calling, and one of its executives is Emma's ex-husband. The hotel's future, a family's long-buried secret, and two cautious hearts all come down to one question: what are we willing to fight for?

Warm, witty, and full of heart, The Room with the Blue Door is a closed-door romance about second chances, found family, and the beauty of what we choose to keep.
