A quiet town. A guarded man. A woman searching for a fresh start.

Lucy Wilder never expected to return to Maplewood, the sleepy Connecticut town where her parents first fell in love. But when tragedy strikes, she finds herself back in the cottage they left her, determined to build a new life for herself and her eight-year-old brother, Lucas. Owning a struggling bookstore and navigating small-town gossip is a challenge, but Lucy is determined to make it work.  

Across the gravel path lives Hunter Lockhart, the mysterious and reclusive man whose quiet existence is the subject of endless speculation. Reserved and haunted by his past, Hunter keeps everyone at arm's length-until Lucas, with his boundless curiosity and a love for Hunter's dog, Shadow, breaks through his walls.  

As Lucy finds herself drawn to the enigmatic man across the road, she begins to uncover the layers of who Hunter really is. But small towns hold big secrets, and Hunter's guarded heart isn't the only obstacle in their path.  

Will Lucy be able to show Hunter that he's not destined to walk alone?All Rights Reserved
