This small town has got a big heart. And it’s about to steal hers.

Hazel Hart was a successful romance novelist until a break-up drove her straight into writer’s block. Having failed (and failed some more) to deliver her new manuscript, her publisher finally lays down the law: if she misses her next deadline, it’s The End.

Desperate for inspiration, Hazel flees NYC and instead lands in the tiny town of Story Lake, Pennsylvania, enticed by look of a charming new home and convinced that a change of scene is all she needs. That is until she discovers on arrival that ‘charm’ may have been slightly exaggerated: the house is a wreck, and suddenly the book is the least of her problems.

Enter: Campbell Bishop. Six-feet-three inches of grouchy contractor, who might just be the answer to all her troubles – in life, and in writing. Before Hazel knows it, she’s writing a romance novel and living one: fake-dating her contractor is giving this burnt-out writer all the inspiration she needs.

That is until the drywall dust settles, reality hits, and growly Cam suddenly remembers why – away from their make-believe – he’s not actually the one who can provide her happily ever after . . .
