The Sweet Shrub Inn

By Hilah Roscoe

Combining a captivating romance with a cast of all-too-human characters, Hilah Roscoe's The Sweet Shrub Inn is an unforgettable tale of love, loss, family, and Southern charm.

In less than twenty-four hours, young therapist-in-training, Cora Graham, is dumped by her boyfriend in Chicago and notified that her estranged father is suffering from early onset Alzheimer's. It's been years since Cora has visited the small Mississippi town of her birth, and the wounds she suffered there still ache. Two years earlier, at her best friend's wedding, she finally made her feelings known for Jensen Mabry, the town heartthrob, only to be turned down.

Despite her anxieties at seeing those who played such an integral role in her flight from home, Cora returns to discover her ill-tempered father has purchased the old Sweet Shrub Inn, which she must renovate and sell to pay for his increasing medical costs. Though Jensen offers to loan her the money through his family's construction company, something feels amiss. Has reuniting with her long-lost love in a town that holds so many ghosts clouded her judgment? Or is there another, more suspicious reason for his kindness?

As she navigates her rekindled passions and her father's terrifying illness, Cora must face her heart's ultimate dilemma: should she return to her old life in Chicago or stay in a town she's learning to love again?
