Blurb/Synopsis:
When Broadway actor Jonah receives word that his uncle has
passed away and named him the heir to a property in Carlisle, Pennsylvania,
Jonah’s plan is to settle the estate as quickly as possible and return to his
life in New York City. Much to Jonah’s surprise, the inheritance includes the
Ashford Cemetery—and its hunky groundskeeper, recent Bosnian immigrant Luka
Pavelka.
Jonah soon discovers Luka is more than easy on the eyes. He
sees into Jonah’s heart like no man ever before, and his job at the cemetery is
all he has. If Jonah sells, Luka is left with nothing. Luka is there for Jonah
when Jonah needs someone most, and there’s no denying the chemistry and
connection between them. But Jonah has a successful career back in New York.
Now he must decide if it’s still the life he wants….
“Charles Laughtner,” a man answered.
“This is Jonah Hughes. I received a letter about an
inheritance from my uncle, Samuel James. I wasn’t very sure what time I should
call and—”
“It’s no problem at all. I’m glad you received the
information,” he said, sounding genuine. “As I said in the letter, you are his
primary beneficiary.”
“Why me, Mr. Laughtner?” I asked. “I haven’t seen my uncle
in ten years or so, and I don’t know why he would leave everything to me. There
have to be people he loved and who were a part of his life.” It was totally
confusing for me, and to tell the truth, I hoped Uncle Samuel had had people in
his life he was close to. I hated the thought of him spending his life alone.
“Call me Charles, please, and I have a letter that your
uncle wrote you, as well as a list of items included in the estate, which
include his home and car and money. Over the past few years, I worked with your
uncle to simplify his estate as much as possible. I’d like for you to come to
Carlisle so we can speak in person. Is that possible?”
“I suppose I could rent a car.” I was still overwhelmed and
thinking out loud, I guess.
“You’re in New York, right? Just take the train to
Harrisburg, and I can arrange to pick you up. Once you’re here, you’ll be able
to drive your uncle’s car.” He paused, and papers shuffled in the background.
“What sort of work do you do?”
“I’m an actor on Broadway, but I can come tomorrow. The show
I was in is closing tonight anyway.” I was at loose ends, so what did it matter
if I made a trip to Pennsylvania to check out my inheritance? I could see what
it was, make some decisions, sell what I needed to, and come back to New York.
Charles said there was some money, so at least I wouldn’t be out anything.
“Very good, then. Call me when you know which train you’ll
be on, and I’ll come to meet you at the station. You can plan to stay in your
uncle’s house. It’s quite nice.”
“How did he die? Did he have a lot of friends? Was he
alone?” I had a ton of questions, and some of them tumbled out.
“Samuel died of a heart attack. His body was immediately
cremated, and all arrangements have been made for his memorial service, which
is on Monday. As for friends, he was a popular man in town and will be deeply
missed by a lot of people,” Charles explained, sounding defensive. “Are you
surprised?”
“I’m pleased.” It was a relief to know Uncle Samuel was
cared for. “I’ll call you as soon as I make the train arrangements.” I only had
the one show to do and then I was free to leave town. “It will probably be
later this morning.”
We ended the call, and Chet groaned as he sat up on the
sofa.
