Booked For The Weekend

By Piper Glenn

She arrived at Crosswinds for two quiet nights.

The inn had other plans.

Marin Hale is excellent at solving problems that don't belong to her. Corporate retreats. Failing timelines. Beautiful systems held together by exhaustion and denial. She arrives at the aging lakeside inn expecting distance, anonymity, and a weekend without consequences.

Instead she finds burst pipes, a collapsing roofline, a retreat spiraling toward disaster, and Elliot Cross - the owner trying to save the place without admitting how close it is to breaking him.

Crosswinds is more than a business.

It's inheritance. Memory. Debt. Routine.

And it may already be too far gone.

As mounting repairs, bank deadlines, and a predatory developer close in, Marin does what she always does: she builds order inside chaos. But the longer she stays, the more dangerous the inn becomes - not because it's failing, but because it's starting to feel like something she might choose.

Now both of them must decide whether rebuilding a place is the same thing as rebuilding a life inside it.

Warm, grounded, and emotionally intelligent, Crosswinds is a novel about repair, responsibility, quiet intimacy, and the difference between surviving something and sustaining it.

Perfect for readers of Every Summer After, Same Time Next Summer, and deeply atmospheric relationship fiction centered on place, work, and second beginnings.
