Books like The Inheritance by Janice Carter
When a distant great-aunt bequeaths a large property in Plainsville, Iowa, to Roslyn Baines on the condition that she abandon her successful Chicago career for a year, she is stunned by the unexpected inheritance. Roslyn must decide whether to leave behind her life in the city, worrying that the alternate heir—Jack Jensen, who has tended the house for years—will gain possession if she does not. Drawn to her long‑neglected family, Roslyn travels to Iowa and, alongside Jack, unravels the painful reasons her grandmother withheld knowledge of her relatives. As she settles into the ancestral home, the two confront the stakes of their choices: if Roslyn stays, Jack risks losing his inheritance; if she leaves, her budding relationship with him may never flourish.
