Quinn Avery makes a point of never being caught unprepared.
She has a career she is good at, a best friend who knows exactly when she is overthinking, and a small Mid-western town where a quick coffee can turn into a conversation, a committee, or both. As Westmore’s Director of Public Relations, Quinn knows how to read a room, anticipate a problem, and keep everyone moving towards the next solution.
Then Rowan Cole arrives.
The new municipal attorney is observant, maddeningly restrained, and far too good at noticing the things Quinn would rather leave unexamined. He rarely says more than he has to, which would be easier to dismiss if Quinn didn’t keep hearing the things he left unsaid.
Chase Calloway should make things easier.
Warm, honest, and refreshingly direct, he says what he means and makes his interest in Quinn impossible to misunderstand. He offers the kind of certainty she has always trusted—and fits easily into the life she already knows she wants.
As one of Westmore’s most beloved landmarks is brought back to life without losing itself, Quinn begins to understand that change doesn’t have to mean starting over.
It may simply mean letting the life you love, grow.
When two very different men make her question what she wants, how does she choose the one who belongs in the life she already loves—and the life it might still become?
