But when their career ambitions drove them apart, the young couple separated, handed over the property's upkeep to a management firm, and never looked back.Seven years later, Molly and Robin return to the Hummingbird Inn for very different reasons. Molly is an artist on the rise who's been commissioned to create pieces in Eureka Springs; Robin is a celebrity chef whose restaurants have gone belly-up. Both feel entitled to their shared property, furious that the other refuses to leave, and each resorts to a series of escalating pranks in the hopes of scaring the other off. When neither woman budges, they resolve to renovate the bed-and-breakfast together, sell it, and at last go their separate ways. But their work to restore the inn's vintage charm reignites memories-and chemistry-that make it hard to say goodbye.
