Unable to sell but strapped for cash, Fliss determines to spruce up the elegant old rooms and open a B&B. But why are Jacques— Madame's grandson and the mayor—and the other townsfolk so hostile? How did Fliss' grandfather come to own the place anyway? And will Jacques and Fliss be able to put their differences aside to save the château? It seems like nothing but trouble. But as one year gives way to the next, it could be a new beginning for them all . . .
