Sarah Hartwell is officially having the Worst Week Ever.

​

First, she catches her fiancé cheating. (With someone whose boobs defy gravity, which somehow makes it worse.) Then her publisher informs her she has four weeks to finish a book she has not only not started, but also maybe doesn’t even remember agreeing to write.

​

So when a letter arrives saying she’s inherited her great-aunt’s inn in the small town of Maplewood Falls, Sarah does what any emotionally-overcaffeinated, semi-functioning adult would do: she packs a suitcase, grabs her laptop, and drives north, determined to start over.

​

One problem: her car doesn’t make it.

​

As Sarah’s life spirals down the crapper… enter Alex Carter.

​

Local business owner. Unfairly handsome. Annoyingly calm. And exactly the kind of man Sarah does not have the emotional bandwidth to deal with.

​

But Maplewood Falls has other plans.

​

Between nosy neighbors, surprise squirrel tenants, an inn that may or may not be falling apart, and a town that gets way too excited about newcomers, Sarah finds herself more tangled up in small-town life, and Alex, than she ever intended.

​

She came to Maplewood to put her life back together. She definitely did not plan on falling in love doing it.

 

A slow-burn, laugh-out-loud romance about second chances, unexpected homecomings, and the infuriatingly attractive man who always shows up exactly when you need him.
