The Perfect Hope

About “The Perfect Hope”

Ryder Montgomery is the most difficult of his brothers to understand, with a tough exterior and little sign of softness. He is gruff and distant, but his charm and confidence draw women in—except for Hope Beaumont, the innkeeper of the Inn BoonsBoro. Once a hotel manager in Washington, D.C., Hope has found her place in BoonsBoro, but her love life remains unfulfilled. Her only interactions with men have been with Ryder, whose constant irritation makes him hard to ignore. Despite their clashes, there is a strong connection between them, sparked by a passionate kiss on New Year’s Eve. Though the inn runs smoothly under her care, her past is about to resurface in a way that leaves her vulnerable. This moment stirs something in Ryder, making him realize that while Hope is not perfect, she might be exactly what he needs.
