Excerpt

Lainey gazed up at the large blue Victorian looking building. The sign in the front yard said it was the Brass Anchor Inn. Charming was the first word that came to mind.

They stepped out of the cart and made their way up the sidewalk. While Jack rushed up the two steps and moved swiftly to the white French doors, she took her time. She took in the wide porch that was lined with white rocking chairs. There were small tables between them for drinks and a potted plant. Once again, the word charming came to mind.

“Hey.” Jack held the open door for her. “Are you coming?”

She hurried her steps. Once inside the spacious lobby, it took a moment for her eyes to adjust after being out in the bright sunshine. She took in the gray wood tile floors with a royal blue runner that led from the door to the check-in desk. Her gaze meandered around the room, admiring the new furnishing that portrayed a sense of coziness.

She paused and glanced off to the side, taking in the display cases with lots of seafaring memorabilia. On the walls was a collection of framed photographs. She wanted to meander over to check it all out but Jack was already at the check-in desk waiting for her.

She moved to his side. There was no one working the desk. Noticing a brass Victorian style bell. She tapped her fingers on it. Ding.

“Coming,” a male voice called out from the office behind the desk. A moment later, an older man stepped out of the office. “Sorry to keep you waiting. Welcome to the Brass Anchor Inn. How may I help you?”

The man wore a dark blue polo shirt with the inn’s logo embroidered with white thread and a gold pin with the name Harvey Coleman. His snow-white hair was kept short. He had a close-trimmed mustache and beard. Immediately the thought of Santa Claus came to mind.

“We need a room,” Jack said.

Lainey couldn’t believe he’d just said that. She lightly elbowed him aside. “What he meant to say is I need a room.”

Jack frowned at her but remained quiet.

Harvey’s gaze moved between the two of them. A smile played at the corners of his mouth. “It doesn’t matter which of you needs the room. We don’t have any available.”

“What?” Jack’s dark brows drew together. “Are you sure?”

“I’m absolutely positive.” Harvey’s tone was firm.
