In a small village with a population less than two hundred, there was rarely a need for an inn. There was definitely no reason for one of the locals to open a bed and breakfast when outsiders were few and far between. That didn't stop Maria De Angelis. Though she knew she would never manage to escape Hamlet—and she didn't want to—running Ophelia was her dream. But when did she decide to do it? Why? Where did she get the name for it? And what really happened with Mack Turner? Told in snippets, this novella spans eight years, showing the birth of the idea for Ophelia all the way to the day Maria reopens her bed and breakfast and has Tessa Sullivan for a guest. It's a look at one of the understated characters from the first book in the series: Ophelia, Maria De Angelis' bed and breakfast. *Though set beforehand, Ophelia is meant to be read following Don't Trust Me due to spoilers for the first novel in the Hamlet Series.
