He has a reputation in town. She's determined to give him his second chance.

Adelaide Ramsay is a Beaver Creek darling. She’s distantly related to the town’s founders, has a tragic past that was once town gossip, and found success as historical fiction author. The town is happy to claim her as one of their best. But behind her smile is a woman who overcompensates with bright colours and endless hobbies, always feeling like she’s a little too much for anything real.

When Zander Browning gets invited to Beaver Creek’s Festival of Local Authors, he’s anxious to return to his hometown. The first fifteen years of his life were spent in town before everything blew up. He tells himself he’s content being alone and deserves it for what he did in the past. But behind his stony exterior is a man yearning for someone to finally love him. Through a stroke of fate, Adelaide is the first person Zander sees at the event, which they spend flirting through books.

Adelaide’s sunshine-y personality breaks through Zander’s grey skies. They see each other. But a storm is brewing in town that might just break them apart.
