Page 39 of Love in Kentbury


Font Size:  

I take Lou into my arms, my heart pounding. Our lips meet, and I’m lost in the sweetness of her kiss.

Under the twinkling fairy lights, with my new family around me, this feels like a dream come true—a homecoming.

This is the start of a new chapter for all of us.

Louanne and I were both looking to find ourselves, and we did. But most of all, what we found was . . . love in Kentbury. This isn’t the end, our story is only just beginning.

What’s next?

Summer in Kentbury

Will one of the McFolley’s move to Kentbury, or will Holden finally have her own book . . . find out soon.

Thank you so much for reading LOVE IN KENTBURY.

Thank you so much for taking time out of your life to read this novella which almost became a full-length book, ha!

Henrik and Lou are a lot of fun and my beta readers were impressed that I could keep this light. (I can’t believe it either). If you’re new to me, let me tell you I can get pretty angsty. Highly emotional is my favorite state of mind.

My goal is that Kentbury Tales will become the pallet cleanser between angsty books. My fully books so to speak. So far they’ve helped a lot to balance some books from the others.

Who’s going to be part of Summer in Kentbury will be revealed around May in my Newsletter, so stay tuned. It will definitely won’t be Paul. I think he’s going to have a standalone somewhere else. You’ll understand once I’m ready to write this book.

If you love this book as much as I did writing, I would appreciate if you leave a review on your favorite retailer and bookbub, it really helps me spread the word. Also, tell your bookiefriends about it.

Sending all my love,

Claudia xoxo

Christmas in Kentbury

Knightly

“Did someone check-in last night?” Marcy asks as we peer through the crack in the door, staring at the unconscious body splayed over the Egyptian cotton comforter.

I look at her with a questioning gaze. “No, this room should be empty.”

“Well, tell it to that guy’s ass,” she says.

Some saycrisisis my middle name. Actually, it’s Rose. But if someone is in a crisis, I’m the go-to girl to solve most of the problems. I live in a small town where everyone knows… well, everyone. We don’t lock our front doors, and that includes the main door of the Bed & Breakfast. For starters, it’s a hotel so we have to keep the doors open. Also, no one trespasses in Kentbury.

“We should call the sheriff, or maybe your brothers,” Marcy, the housekeeper, suggests.

Calling the authorities will start a rumor and before I know it, there’ll be a crowd outside my business. I don’t have time to deal with that aftermath. My brothers never show up when I need them, so I’m not going to bother with calling them either.

“Lance’s on his way,” I say, holding onto the wrench that I found in the garage on the way here with both hands.

When I fully open the door to the Royal room, I see the intruder, just like Marcy described him.

Clothes scattered carelessly around the room. Who is he? A serial killer, a stranded traveler, or just a drunk who decided to crash in my B&B to avoid an angry wife.

My shoulders tense, and I hold my breath. Maybe I should call the police. Terror surges through my body, but I relax when I feel a big hand squeezing my shoulder.

“It’s okay,” Lance, my best friend, whispers behind me.

“Is it?” I huff, upset at myself for having such an overactive imagination.

“You had a one-night stand, and you want me to kick him out?” His light blue eyes flicker with humor.
