The Bluebird House — Rae Ellen Lee

The place: Montana. The time: the present. After a nearly fatal encounter with a moose and a terrifyingly close brush with middle age, Molly reassesses her life. The result: she ends her stale marriage and moves to a small mining town where she purchases The Bluebird House, an old bordello. She hires Ben, a handsome carpenter - and poet, gourmet cook, and mountain man - to help her renovate the old building. Molly canââ,¬â"¢t help but be attracted to the younger man - until she discovers that he was once tried and acquitted of a gruesome murder. Shocked, she tries to uncover the truth behind the murder and Benââ,¬â"¢s part in it. Meanwhile, intrigued by her new home, Molly also tracks down the true story of her predecessor - the madam of The Bluebird House.
