For thoughtful, hard-working Sua, the only things that matter in life are the happiness and safety of her friends and family. She’s more than content to manage her late father’s inn with her pet antula by her side. However, being an innkeeper in a small town isn’t always easy… or safe. There’s danger lurking in the woods, and only she is allowed to stop it.
Through a twist of fate, a mysterious traveler comes along and distracts her from the threat to her home. Sa Gin’s new, handsome face becomes the talk of the town overnight. What’s more, he has a charming personality, a purse full of money… and a weapon on his back. Can Sua trust this stranger with her terrifying burden and her inexperienced heart?
This newcomer who already has enough secrets of his own?
Excerpt from this fantasy romance:
“Is there a problem?” the man asked, pulling her out of her thoughts.
“None at all,” Sua said. “I was just surprised. We’ve never had any long-term tenants here before. It’s as if you’re trying to see if this town suits you.”
She usually didn’t pry into other people’s lives, and the locals who came in to eat adored her for it. Her father had drilled it into her to respect their guests’ privacy. He’d also implored her to keep whatever confidence their guests shared to herself.
This time, though, she couldn’t help but become a little curious.
“I’m actually looking for a good home,” the man admitted as he laid down the quill. He blew on the ledger to dry the ink before speaking again. “Somewhere quiet and peaceful, with a job for someone used to working with their hands.”
“You’ll never find a place that fits those more than Alola,” she replied, even if her words didn’t always apply to herself. Sua took the ledger from him and skimmed through the words he’d written down.
She caught him grinning again from the corner of her eye.
