Welcome to the Nightingale Inn

Good pie. Bad boiler. Excellent reasons to stay.

Closed-door small-town romance on the Maine coast

Slow burns · Found family · Meddling townspeople · Guaranteed HEAs

Cover of The Baker and the Innkeeper by Hattie Larkin: a painted coastal kitchen, with a lattice-topped pie cooling in a blue enamel dish on a wooden counter and a folded towel beside it. Through a wide window a couple walk hand in hand along the shore of a Maine cove, seen from behind, and a white goat leans in at the sill.
