Maisie never expected her quiet life as a schoolteacher to collide with Tucker's - a gruff firefighter carrying more scars than he lets show. But when a call for help brings them together, everything begins to change. On Tucker's peaceful farm, with wide skies and creaking porch swings, Maisie finds a kind of stillness she didn't know she needed. And Tucker, long used to solitude and silence, discovers what it means to be truly seen. Slowly, gently, they begin to untangle the pain in each other's pasts, drawn closer by shared glances, soft laughter, and the growing comfort of something like home. As love roots itself between them, unexpected turns reshape their world - bringing both challenge and grace in equal measure. Together, they learn that family can be something you build with your hands and heart. A moving, quiet love story about healing, trust, and the kind of life you choose - one moment, one morning, one person at a time.

Ignoring each other like we didn't even exist was easy. That's the way it's always been. Until one starry, blood moonlit night changes everything we thought we had ever known. When what started as a birthday toast quickly turns into a chance to get the idea of each other out of our system, it's clear that nothing good could come from it... Even if the feeling is nothing but good. Before we know it we find ourselves fastened together like a stitch of thread on a vintage shirt, holding on for the crude interruption to our well thought out lies. There's just one thing about lies though, little by little they show their truth. The rules are simple -don't date your best friends brother. But unfortunately... The stolen stares and the secrets take over everything, making it impossible to think about anyone else. I think there's been a glitch, one I would ruin myself for. A million little times.

Archer Riley just wanted to get away for the summer before she was buried in textbooks during her final year of medical school. Niall Horan has always been comfortable splitting his time between his dog and his job as a firefighter in the small costal town he's lived in for years. When Archer and Niall meet, it seems like there's an invisible string tying them together, one that bypasses the fact that not only is there a difference between their ages... But the fact that Niall's best friend is none other than Ellis Riley. Archer's one and only older brother. Never have either of them been more sure about their feelings for each other, but summer can only last so long before August comes and slips away like a moment in time.

The most perfect Hollywood couple to ever exist. Aviana and Harry Styles. Although maybe it's not all bright white smiles and perfectly posed photos. Maybe there's so much more to it than hours of hair and makeup. Maybe it's not all that it seems. You never really know what happens behind closed doors. Maybe it'll end in tears, maybe it'll work out.
