In the quaint embrace of Spruce Harbor, where time whispers through the pines, a tale of lost love and second chances unfolds.

She’s sworn off love. He’s trying to outrun his past. But when their worlds collide in a small-town bookstore, they’ll discover that true love may be worth the risk.
Maggie Bennett has made peace with her life—or so she tells herself.

That’s strictly for the pages of her romance novels.
