The Prodigal

Meredith Manor Hotel #2

by Katherine Moore

Welcome to Silver Birch, Washington.

It's almost Thanksgiving, and the Meredith Manor Hotel is in full-on holiday prep mode when local cop Kelly Kotichas shows up with a handsome young man in handcuffs she's just arrested for busting up the local bar. He's Jeremiah Henson, the troubled, trouble-making nephew of the hotel owner's husband. A loner with anger management problems, Jeremiah is sorely in need of love, and finds it as he is embraced by everyone in the Meredith Manor Hotel family, including its newest member, four-month old Amelia, who melts his heart.

This SHORT STORY is a sequel of sorts to The Christmas Experience: Meredith Manor Hotel #1. It's a clean read, a romantic dramedy with heart, holidays, and recipes!!
