She came for peace and quiet. He came with sawdust and sarcasm. Neither expected to fall in love.
Amelia Carter is a polished New York City book editor nursing a bruised heart and a shattered sense of direction. When an unexpected freelance opportunity sends her to the charming small town of Maplewood, she's determined to spend her time sipping tea, reading manuscripts, and avoiding anything-or anyone-that might complicate her carefully guarded solitude.
Enter Liam Bennett: a rugged, small-town carpenter with a stubborn streak and a hidden talent for storytelling. He's the last person Amelia expects to be intrigued by. He's messy, infuriatingly opinionated, and entirely too handsome for her peace of mind. But when a forgotten manuscript brings their worlds crashing together, sparks fly-in more ways than one.
As they edit chapters by day and argue over coffee by night, the lines between fiction and reality blur. Walls begin to crumble, secrets come to light, and love shows up in the most unexpected places.
"Unexpected Love" is a slow-burn, feel-good romance full of witty banter, heartfelt moments, and the undeniable magic of two very different people discovering they might just be perfect for each other.
