She came for one wedding season. He gave her a two-week trial. The inn had other ideas. Pastry chef June Calloway arrives at the Nightingale Inn looking for somewhere her too-muchness fits. What she finds is Graham Hartwell — grumpy, precise, and rationing his praise at exactly two words — and, inside a kitchen wall, a ledger full of guests who stayed in secret and checked out into new lives.
