Room at Heron's Inn

the long version

"When Robin Farrel was a child, a man drowned saving her life. Desperate to free herself from the guilt that still lingered after twenty years, Robin tracked down his six orphaned children and took a job as a chef in the seaside hotel they owned and operated. Eric Marshall, the oldest, made Robin's heart stop. Intense and brooding, he exuded such charisma that she couldn't help falling in love with him. But now she was faced with a new dilemma: How on earth could she tell Eric that she was the woman he blamed for his father's death?"--Publisher's description.
