As a Manor of Fact

Briar Adler escapes her troubled life by taking a restoration job at a historic manor in the small coastal town of Beaumere, South Carolina, seeking a fresh start. There, she meets Wystan Hargrave, a broody and sharp-tongued man who keeps his distance, but his presence begins to challenge her perceptions and feelings. As Briar becomes more connected to the town and the people around her, she discovers that the process of rebuilding extends beyond the manor itself. This slow-burn contemporary romance combines witty banter, emotional depth, and small-town charm.
