¿Eleanor Vance swore she'd never return to Thornbrook-the small town that felt like a cage, the grandmother who demanded too much, and Liam Harding, the boy whose heart she broke when she disappeared without explanation. But when Gran dies and leaves Eleanor the beloved bookstore on Main Street, she has no choice but to come home and face everything she ran from.

¿

¿Liam built his life in Thornbrook. His custom woodworking business. His reputation. His carefully controlled heartbreak. The last person he expected to see walking through town was Eleanor-ten years older, impossibly beautiful, and still able to wreck him with a single glance. He should hate her. He wants to hate her. But when the town threatens to sell Gran's bookstore to a ruthless developer, Liam can't walk away. Not from the bookstore. Not from Eleanor.

¿

¿Forced to work together to save Thornbrook's historic Main Street, Eleanor and Liam uncover the truth that tore them apart: stolen letters, family lies, and a decade of misunderstanding. The chemistry that once consumed them reignites, but Eleanor's life is in the city, Liam's roots run deep in Thornbrook, and the whole town is watching their every move.

¿

¿Can two people who were torn apart by secrets find their way back to each other? Or will choosing love mean sacrificing everything they've built?

¿

¿Perfect for fans of emotional small-town romance with second chances, bookish heroines, swoony carpenters, and communities worth fighting for.
