Marie Carrington is running from a host of bad memories. Broke and desperate, she’s hoping to find safety and sanctuary on Prince Edward Island, where she reluctantly agrees to help decorate a renovated bed-and-breakfast before it opens for prime tourist season.
Seth Sloane didn’t move three thousand miles to work on his uncle’s B&B so he could babysit a woman with a taste for expensive antiques and a bewildering habit of jumping every time he brushes past her. He came to help restore the old Victorian–and to forget about the fiancée who broke his heart.
The only thing Marie and Seth agree on is that getting the Red Door Inn ready to open in just two months will take everything they’ve got. Can these two wounded souls find hope, healing, and perhaps a bit of romance on this beautiful island?
Step into the Red Door Inn, a lovely home away from home tucked along the north shore of fabled Prince Edward Island. It’s a place where the wounded come to heal, the broken find forgiveness, and the lonely find a family. Won’t you stay for the season?

Summary
Simply the title and cover on this book was enough to draw me in to \"The Red Door Inn\"; the peace and solitude displayed was absolutely mesmerizing. However, after reading the first few chapters it became quite obvious that Marie Carrington began her pilgrimage to Prince Edward Island as a broken, traumatized and desperate young woman; seeking new beginnings, craving healing from deep within her soul, and needing somewhere safe to belong. Could this picturesque Canadian Island with a bed and breakfast renovation project hold the key for a enigmatic runaway from Boston? Seth Sloane cannot believe that his uncle Jack has brought an anonymous young woman across to the island and onto their property in order to \"give it a woman's touch\". Seriously? Seth has had quite enough of women's \"touches\" and boldly gives voice to his suspicions that Marie has to have ulterior motives and a boatload of secrets behind those luminous eyes. The two conveniently avoid each other until they are forced to work together long enough to cautiously declare a truce. And then the truce evolves into a friendship. And then the friendship evolves into something that neither wants to admit could possibly happen. This was actually a 3.5 novel for me, with wonderful characters, a gorgeous setting and a story line that had many ups and downs before finding its final resting place, which the cover so beautifully depicts.
Violence: A violent act against the main character is vaguely described.
Drug & Alcohol: Mentioned in relation to a party.
