Hotel at Treloan
He was determined but so was she.
Commander Roger Merlin wasted no time putting his plan into action. He offered to buy Eve's inheritance, Treloan Manor, before she had even seen it! But she had no intention of selling the Georgian mansion-especially not to the arrogant Commander Merlin! Somehow she must keep the estate. Maybe it could be made to pay for itself as a hotel. And it would suit Eve perfectly to be in the same business as Roger Merlin. Competition was just what he deserved!

Vintage M&B.
This took me back to my school days. Recommended only for the squeaky clean romance and the nostalgia.
( Took me the better part of four days to read through! Back in the good old days, it would have been snapped up and swallowed whole in a couple of hours)

Also published under title Hotel at Treloan. This is a 1976 reissue. I found the heroine annoying and almost neurotic in her dislike of the hero so the turn around to romantic love was not altogether believable as it was rushed!

Sweet vintage, but plot slow! The best part was the descriptions of Cornwall 🤤
