She left Pine Ridge with big dreams and a broken promise. She never expected both to be waiting when she came back.
Nora Sullivan swore she’d only need three weeks — long enough to write her feature on small-town Pacific Northwest life, collect her paycheck, and get out before the memories caught up with her. Pine Ridge is just a story. Callum Ward is just the past.
Except Pine Ridge hasn’t forgotten her. And neither has Callum.
Now Pine Ridge’s fire chief, Callum Ward has spent twelve years building exactly the quiet, rooted life that Nora walked away from. He’s not interested in reopening old wounds — especially not for a woman with a one-way ticket back to Seattle. But when a nor’easter pins half the town inside the Red Wood Saloon and strands a group of hikers on Ridgeview Lookout, staying out of each other’s way stops being an option.
Somewhere between the rescue and the rainstorm, the wall Callum built starts to crack. And Nora starts wondering if the story worth writing has been here all along.
But her editor is offering her a permanent position — in London. And Pine Ridge has a way of finding out everyone’s secrets.
Some places get into your bones. Some people get into your heart. Pine Ridge has always been both.
Hearts of Pine is a sweet small-town romance set in the shared world of Pine Ridge, Washington — where love is rooted in community, second chances are worth taking, and home is never really where you left it.
Genre: Romance
