Inheriting a bed-and-breakfast was supposed to solve her financial problems. She didn't expect the guests to be permanent. Or undead.
Dr. Eleanor Hartley has a PhD in Folklore, $87,000 in student loans, and a career that just imploded. When she inherits a crumbling Victorian inn in the quiet town of Harrowmere, Eleanor has a simple plan: sell the property, pay off her debts, and start over.
But the Moonlight Rest comes with conditions.
The inn is a sanctuary for the supernatural, and the residents aren't leaving:
Grayson: A werewolf professor who worries about his arthritis and loves the Sunday crossword.
Valdis & Radu: An ancient vampire couple currently feuding over the health benefits of beet smoothies versus blood.
Moira: A retired banshee who knits protective scarves and sells doilies on Etsy.
The Occupant: A mathematical entity in the sub-basement that needs a ticking clock to stay tethered to reality.
Now a ruthless corporate developer wants to bulldoze the property and pave over the "thin place" that has sheltered Harrowmere for two centuries. Eleanor has two weeks to prove the inn is worth saving—which means filing paperwork for residents without social security numbers, explaining a house that's bigger on the inside, and preventing the security cameras from catching a full moon transformation.
Sanctuary isn't just a place—it's a practice.
