Margot Hartwell does not ‘do’ people.
She does dogs. Quiet. Loyal. Predictable.
People? Messy. Loud. Capable of making her care. Absolutely not.


So when she returns to Maplewood Falls to regroup, recharge, and avoid everyone who might ask how she’s doing, she plans to keep to herself.

But then she ends up responsible for a retired service dog with opinions, and a frustratingly gentle, annoyingly patient man keeps showing up like some kind of emotional support lumberjack

Margot is not looking for romance.
Margot is not looking for
anything, thank you.

But just because she’s grumpy doesn’t mean her heart is gone. It just needs someone who knows how to knock, and wait.

A cozy, heartfelt romantic comedy about quiet love, found family, and the companion who walks beside you when you'''re not ready to walk alone.
