This place is nothing but trouble!

When their grandfather dies, Fliss Hope and her two sisters are astonished to learn that he has left them a chateau that they knew nothing about! Travelling to Normandy in northern France to see the beautiful - but faded - house for themselves, they excitedly make plans over delicious savoury crepes and the local cider in the town nearby.

But their happiness is short-lived when they discover the house needs a lot of repair work, there's a big tax bill due . . . and there's a sitting tenant in the form of Madame Charlotte Cadieux, to whom they owe a monthly allowance!

Unable to sell but in desperate need of money, Fliss determines to spruce up the elegant old rooms and open a B&B. But she comes up against opposition in the form of suspicious townsfolk and Jacques Cadieux the mayor, who just happens to be Madame's grandson. Why are they so angry with her? How did the house come into her grandfather's possession anyway? And will Jacques and Fliss be able to put their differences aside to save the chateau?

But as the old year gives way to the new, it could be a new beginning for them all . . .

Inspired by Escape to the Chateau, this is a brilliantly uplifting novel from the author of Escape to the French Farmhouse and Finding Love at the Christmas Market.
