Chloe Morgan is perfectly content with her quiet life as an English teacher. After one too many disappointing dates, she’s done looking for love and more than happy focusing on her students, reality TV, and her peaceful routine.
Then she meets Harrison Bennett at a party.
Steady, dependable, and quietly impossible not to fall for, Harrison quickly becomes the person Chloe can always count on. What starts as late-night conversations and growing feelings slowly turns into something neither of them expected.
So when summer break arrives, Chloe agrees to temporarily stay in Linden Lake to see where things might lead.
But small towns come with complicated family dynamics, long memories, and one very disapproving mother who doesn’t think Chloe belongs there at all.
Because sometimes love isn’t about grand gestures.
Sometimes it’s about finding where you truly belong.
