First Series from Bestselling Author Julie Klassen!

Julie Klassen is one of my favorite authors when it comes to Regency fiction. I love that her books are so thick, you are always guaranteed a nice long read. This is the first book in the Tales from Ivy Hill Series. It's been a year since Jane Bell's husband died under mysterious circumstances. She has 3 months to pay off a loan or she will lose the place. Can she pull it off or will she cave under the pressure? Will she lose everything or will she come through for all those that depend on her?

Welcome to the English village of Ivy Hill, where friendships thrive, romance blossoms, and mysteries await. . . .

The lifeblood of the village of Ivy Hill is its coaching inn, The Bell. When the innkeeper dies suddenly, his genteel wife, Jane Bell, becomes the reluctant landlady. Jane has no idea how to manage a business, but with the town's livelihood at stake and a large loan due, she must quickly find a way to save the inn.

Despite their strained relationship, Jane turns to her resentful mother-in-law, Thora, for help. Formerly, mistress of The Bell, Thora is struggling to overcome her losses and find purpose for the future. As she works with Jane, two men from her past vie for her attention, but Thora has promised herself never to marry again. Will one of them

convince her to embrace a second chance at love?

As pressure mounts from the bank, Jane employs new methods, and puzzles over the intentions of several men who seem to have a vested interest in the place, including a mysterious newcomer with secret plans of his own. With the help of friends old and new, can Jane restore life to the inn, and to her empty heart as well?
