The Perfect Shot Problem
(2026)(The second book in the Love in Laurel Creek series)
A novel by Summer Haze
Going viral as the face of your small town’s biggest disaster? Bad.
Having the photographer who captured it assigned to help you save the campaign? Much worse.
Mae Lane has spent months building the Laurel Creek Market into something real: organized, impressive, and very much not about her. But when one chaotic launch-day photo turns her into the town’s unexpected poster girl, everyone sees opportunity.
Mae sees a problem.
Theo Hart is the charming photographer behind the shot — the man with the dangerous eyes, the infuriating accuracy, and a camera that always seems to catch too much. Now the town wants Mae’s control and Theo’s lens working side by side to turn one viral moment into a winning campaign.
The rules should be simple: keep it professional, keep the focus on Laurel Creek, and absolutely do not let the whole town notice how much heat is building between the woman trying not to be seen and the man who sees everything.
Which would be a lot easier if Theo didn’t know exactly when to put the camera down.
The Perfect Shot Problem is the second book in the Love in Laurel Creek series, short-read rom-coms filled with small-town chaos, sharp banter, forced proximity, messy chemistry, and happily-ever-afters.
Genre: Romance
