The Next Always

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The restoration of a historic hotel in the quaint town of BoonsBoro, Maryland, sets the stage for a captivating tale of love, history, and community. This delightful romance, penned by Nora Roberts, introduces readers to a world where past meets present and ambition meets heart. The story unfolds as the Montgomery family embarks on an ambitious project to breathe new life into the timeworn BoonsBoro Inn, a building that has witnessed the march of time, from wars to whispered hauntings.

At the heart of this endeavour is Beckett Montgomery, the determined architect whose passion for both the inn’s revival and his craft is unparalleled. Beckett’s existence is a blend of blueprints, construction dust, and convivial evenings of beer and pizza with his brothers. However, amidst the symphony of hammers and drills, another challenge quietly captures his heart: the woman he has admired for years, Clare Brewster.

Clare, a young widow juggling the demands of running her bookstore and raising her sons, becomes entwined in the transformation of the inn. Beckett has long harboured feelings for Clare, ever since their youthful days. Her presence in his life becomes as pronounced as the architectural lines he so skillfully designs, drawing him into a journey that is as much about personal rediscovery as it is about romantic awakening.

Through Nora Roberts' vivid storytelling, The Next Always unfolds as a tapestry of romance, architectural dreams, and a community coming together. With her signature blend of charm and emotional depth, Roberts crafts a narrative where the walls of the inn echo with more than just history. Clare and Beckett must navigate unforeseen challenges, personal ghosts, and the joys of new beginnings, proving once again that love has the power to renew and transform.
