She moved to Vermont after her uncle died and left her his country estate.
She fixed the place up and opened it as a weekend bed-and-breakfast, while
doing a little stint as a restaurateur on the weeknights. And she
met some of the locals, including some rather ... unusual local fauna.
She made something of a splash in this quiet rural area, and seemed to
be getting comfortable in her new role.
But that
was before one of her contractors cheated her.
And that
was before a radical purist organization held a state-wide recruitment drive.
And that
was before she ran afoul of a charming bigot.
And just
who (or what) the heck is this Karl fellow, anyway?
And what,
precisely, is her loony ex-husband up to?
Is she
even going to be able to stay in Vermont? Is this last chance at
happiness going to come crashing down around her cute little ears?
Forge on, Gentle Reader, and find out.
