About this book
When workaholic Peter finally returns home for a visit, he reluctantly agrees to stay at his daughter Claire's quirky bed-and-breakfast—and meets the vibrant, captivating Mrs. Jeeves, who runs the place with infectious joy and warmth. What begins as polite friendship during his stay blossoms into something neither of them expected, especially with the distance that keeps pulling them apart. As Peter finds himself drawn back to the B&B again and again, he realizes that some people are worth rearranging your entire life for. This is a heartwarming story about second chances, unexpected connections, and discovering that home might be found in the most delightful places.

Warm indie folk meets soft acoustic romance with indie pop undertones. Think gentle guitar, tender vocals, and wistful melodies—the feeling of rekindled connection, second chances, and slow-burning affection. Artists like Iron & Wine, The Paper Kites, and Bon Iver. Cozy yet emotionally rich.
