Fleur Wilson's life is suddenly upended when she receives an unexpected inheritance from a woman she has never met. The Victorian mansion, perfectly positioned near Bountiful Bay in Oregon, is the stuff of dreams. But who is Eleanor Bountiful and why would she leave her home to Fleur? Resigning her lower management position with a New York accounting firm, Fleur takes a plunge that could fulfill her lifelong desire of owning a bed and breakfast. The mansion, however, is not as pristine as in the photo shown to her by Mrs. Bountiful’s attorney. Sadly, the money received with the inheritance may not be enough to restore the home.

Enter, Jackson Winters, a successful author renting a wilderness cabin near the mansion. Having discovered the rundown home on an evening walk, he is enchanted by it. When he meets the owner, he is enchanted by her, too. Because his life is in turmoil and he has the skills necessary to restore the mansion to its former beauty, he makes a crazy offer to do just that.

As Fleur embarks on the journey of making her dream come true, she also embarks on a journey of discovery into the mystery of her inheritance, with unexpected twists and turns.

My perfect day: coffee shop; laptop; latte; characters demanding their stories be told; a plot that comes together; and hours to live in an alternate reality.

Seriously, I have always loved reading, and now I love writing. As a preteen, I devoured Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys mysteries, but when I reached my teen years the romance genre became my favorite, and that has never changed. After years of procrastinating, I tried my hand at writing and I've been doing so with a passion ever since. I have written over thirty romance novels and novellas in the genres of contemporary western, historical western, contemporary, and paranormal/fantasy. Because I hate saying goodbye to characters who have lived with me for months, I usually create a series so they can be revisited from book to book. I have also written a Young Adult novella titled "Fragile Hearts" using the pen name of Colleen Clay.
