About this title

Synopsis

Celia Vidal has six weeks to sell the failing hotel that raised her.

The deal will pay the staff, release her family from debt, and return her to the life she built in Madrid—if the building survives inspection.

Adrian Bell is the conservation architect hired to tell the buyer what it is really purchasing. When a structural fault closes six rooms, his report becomes the difference between a clean escape and financial ruin.

Working through rain, cancelled bookings, a final wedding, and the daily labor of keeping guests safe, Celia and Adrian discover in each other the kind of competence neither trusts easily. Desire is simpler than the choices in front of them. To save what matters, Celia may have to stop treating departure as freedom. Adrian may have to admit that being correct is not the same as taking responsibility.

Set on the steep hills of Valparaíso, After the Hotel is a sensual, sharply observed contemporary romance about work, inheritance, and two adults learning to choose a future neither can control.
