The Inheritance Clause

A crumbling stone cottage, a will with strings attached, and a neighbor who'd rather she left—Penny Doyle's fresh start is anything but fresh. Inheriting a half-ruined house from a great-aunt she barely knew, Penny must survive six months in a village that treats her like an interloper, fix a home that fights back at every turn, and figure out why the exasperating local bookshop owner seems to take her very existence personally. But hidden in the attic, a box of old journals holds secrets that will change everything.
