The Nora Roberts Inn BoonsBoro Trilogy together for the first time in one collection
The Next Always
The historic hotel in BoonsBoro, Maryland, has endured war and peace, changing hands, even rumored hauntings. Now it€s getting a major facelift from the Montgomery brothers and their eccentric mother. As the architect of the family, Beckett€s social life consists mostly of talking shop over pizza and beer. But there€s another project he€s got his eye on: the girl he€s been waiting to kiss since he was fifteen.€¦
The Last Boyfriend
Owen is the organizer of the Montgomery clan, running the family€s construction business with an iron fist€"and an even less flexible spreadsheet. And though his brothers give him grief for his compulsive list making, the Inn BoonsBoro is about to open right on schedule. The only thing Owen didn€t plan for was Avery MacTavish.€¦
Avery€s popular pizza place is right across the street from the inn, giving her a firsthand look at its amazing renovation€"and a newfound appreciation for Owen. Since he was her first boyfriend when they were kids, Owen has never been far from Avery€s thoughts. But the attraction she€s feeling for him now is far from innocent.
As Avery and Owen cautiously take their relationship to another level, the opening of the inn gives the whole town of Boonsboro a reason to celebrate. But Owen€s hard work has only begun. Getting Avery to let down her guard is going to take longer than he expected€"and so will getting her to realize that her first boyfriend is going to be her last.€¦
The Perfect Hope
Ryder is the hardest Montgomery brother to figure out€"with a tough-as-nails outside and possibly nothing too soft underneath. He€s surly and unsociable, but when he straps on a tool belt, no woman can resist his sexy swagger. Except, apparently, Hope Beaumont, the innkeeper of his own Inn BoonsBoro.€¦
As the former manager of a D.C. hotel, Hope is used to excitement and glamour, but that doesn€t mean she can€t appreciate the joys of small-town living. She€s where she wants to be€"except for in her love life. Her only interaction with the opposite sex has been sparring with the infuriating Ryder, who always seems to get under her skin. Still, no one can deny the electricity that crackles between them€¦a spark that ignited with a New Year€s Eve kiss.
While the inn is running smoothly, thanks to Hope€s experience and unerring instincts, her big-city past is about to make an unwelcome€"and embarrassing€"appearance. Seeing Hope vulnerable stirs up Ryder€s emotions and makes him realize that while Hope may not be perfect, she just might be perfect for him.€¦
