(2025)
A novel by

 
 
I came to Maplewood to start over, not to fall for the grumpiest man living next door.

I came to Maplewood to fix up the inn my grandmother left me and sell it fast so I can get back to Boston.

I didn’t plan on the house being a wreck. I definitely didn’t plan on Luke Dalton—my grumpy, growly, and incredibly handsome next-door neighbor who makes my heart race.


Somehow we end up working together, renovating the inn while fighting the sparks flying between us.

He’s guarded and serious. I’m sassy and spunky. Complete opposites.

The more we work together, the harder we fall.


One glance. One touch. And I’m done for.

The walls we’ve built starts to crumble.

Suddenly, the inn isn’t the only thing being rebuilt. My heart is, too.

Then a dream partnership offer from Boston lands in my lap.

It’s the career I’ve always wanted—but it means leaving behind the man I’m falling for, and the place that finally feels like home.

A sweet, slow-burn romance full of family, laughter, and a kiss under the lights that changes everything.
