When Jilly Hart becomes a widow for the fourth time and discovers all she has left in the world is a nineteenth-century inn, she heads to South Fork, Arkansas with two thoughts in mind: Sell the place and use the money to fund her quest for husband number five. Unfortunately, the inn is not only a wreck but haunted. Evan Luchetti's brothers tease that he's "just a gigolo," but all he really wants is a family. After his relationship sours on the heels of his proposal, Evan decides to change his zip code and his life by accepting a restoration job in South Fork. When the two meet, sparks fly. But Evan wants forever and Jilly has three rules she lives by: Never, ever marry for love. Poor men are for play; rich men are for keeps. Old men are like fine wine. Once tasted, they don't last very long. How can Evan convince Jilly that love is magic and will make her richer than any life money can buy?
