Emily Woods is starting to think someone out there has a tiny voodoo doll of her—and they're going to town with the pins.
In just a few months, she's lost her job, her boyfriend, and what's left of her confidence. So when her beloved Aunt Helen passes away and leaves her a needlework shop in Lovette, Texas, Emily figures the universe might finally be hinting at a fresh start.
Sure, it means trading San Francisco's skyline for small-town gossip and embroidery floss—but maybe that's exactly what she needs.
Ben Wagner has spent the last thirteen years convincing himself Emily Woods was never coming back.
After one unforgettable kiss the summer before college, she left for New York without looking back. He told himself she'd forget him, forget this place—so he stopped reaching out to make it easier on them both. Now he's Lovette's sheriff, keeping the peace and keeping his distance. And when Emily shows up again, he's certain she's only here to settle her aunt's estate and disappear.
But Emily's not going anywhere. Not yet. She's determined to turn the struggling shop into something profitable, even if it means facing the man who never answered her letters. The man who made her feel wanted—then made her feel forgotten.
Ben's trying to keep his walls up. Emily's trying to prove she belongs here.
And somewhere between embroidery hoops and unfinished business, they might just get a second chance at the one thing neither of them forgot.
