Falling for Harry Harwood

Nat came to England with a plan: finish her master's degree in Manchester, move to London, and finally start the life she had imagined for herself.

Disley was never part of it.

When her friend Emma convinces her to spend the summer in the quiet English town where she grew up while they finish their graduation projects, Nat expects a change of scenery. Instead, she finds herself surrounded by Emma's family, a chaotic but endearing group of friends, a family café she keeps finding reasons to return to, and a life that feels unexpectedly easy to become part of.

And then there's Emma's older brother, Harry Harwood.

Quiet, reserved, and more comfortable behind the counter of his family's café than talking about himself, Harry isn't someone Nat planned on getting close to. Neither, really, is any of this.

But as the end of her degree gets closer, Nat has to admit that Disley has become more than a place to spend the summer. There are friendships she doesn't want to leave behind, possibilities she hadn't considered, a place that feels more like home than she expected-and Harry, who has somehow become part of all of it.

Nat always thought she knew what came next.

Now, surrounded by people she never expected to matter this much, she's beginning to wonder if figuring out her future might mean letting herself want something she never planned for.
