Innkeeper's Blues — Jaime Samms

A loving boyfriend, generous friendships, and a thriving business-Arnold Kreed should be ecstatic. So why does he feel like he's standing on the edge of an abyss?When Kreed took a chance on a thief-letting Lucky into his world, his life, his heart-he hardly imagined he would find the love and acceptance he didn't dare dream of. Lucky draws people to him, and his extended found family embraces Kreed.Now in an established relationship, despite Kreed's ex causing trouble again, Lucky and Kreed are working toward making a life together. But Kreed is unsettled, unable to find his bliss. He is getting grumpier, and he can feel his people, including his beloved self-aware house, Mildred, pulling away.Even in Griffon's Elbow, happily ever after requires a bit of a nudge, just maybe not off the edge of a cliff!
