Ellie Marsh came to Laurel Ridge to fix a house, not to stay in it.
The plan was clean. Repair the cottage her grandmother left her, sell it, and move on. Portland was behind her now, along with the career that used to tell her who she was. She gave herself six weeks. The cottage needed twelve. She didn't plan on the carpenter.
Nate Calloway is the man this town calls when something needs fixing. He builds things to last and raises his daughter alone, here in the only place he has ever lived. He learned young that the people you love leave, and has a quiet house to prove it. The last thing he wants is a city woman in brand-new boots, asking too many questions, filling every silence he spent years learning to live in.
But twelve weeks is a long time. Long enough for a cautious man to start hoping again. Long enough for his watchful little girl to decide that Ellie might be worth fighting to keep. When Portland calls with a new job offer, the old life stands waiting for Ellie to take it back.
Now she has to choose between a future that makes sense and the one she never saw coming. And Nate has to decide if love is worth the risk of being left one more time.
A sweet, slow-burn small town romance with a guarded single dad, a sunshine heroine, a town that meddles because it cares, and the happily ever after you came for. No spice. All heart.
A town where everyone knows your truck and the diner owner knows your business before you do. The mountains are its clock and its calendar. Every book follows a new couple, and the same warm, meddling town carries through them all. The kind of place you want to move to. That feeling is the whole point.
