Lila James

He was never meant to be more than a temporary stop. Now he's the one thing she can't leave behind. Travel influencer Ainsley Moore has built her life on chasing the next destination. New places. New stories. No attachments. Clover Glen was supposed to be just another stop. Until a mix-up leaves her stranded at the historic Clover Glen Inn. and under the same roof as its broody, frustratingly attractive owner.
Thorne O'Cleary doesn't do chaos. He doesn't do influencers. And he definitely doesn't do women who are only passing through. But the inn needs repairs, and Ainsley's campaign could save it. So he makes a deal. She can stay. Just not get too close. But between late nights in the kitchen, unexpected moments in the quiet corners of the inn, and a growing attraction neither of them can ignore, the lines start to blur.
Because Ainsley was never supposed to stay. And Thorne was never supposed to want her to. Now the question isn't whether she'll leave. but whether he can convince her to stay. A sweet, closed-door small-town romance featuring grumpy x sunshine, forced proximity, cozy inn charm, and a heartwarming love story about finding the one place-and person-you can finally call home.
