Synopsis

Sometimes…especially when least expected…love is simply meant to be…

A love story between two people who weren’t looking for love but found it when they least expected to, a mystery tragically rooted in their family’s history, and a dog who loves his new home…

Emma just wants the quiet and peace she needs to do her work. She believed her new home was perfect and exactly suited for what she needed…then soon found out it was far from perfect and not at all what she expected.

Lucas Patterson took pride in his reputation for being calm under pressure and prepared for anything and everything that came his way. It had served him well during his years in law enforcement and continued to when he left the department to start his own security business.

But he wasn’t prepared for Emma. And within only moments after meeting her…he knew that his life and all his current plans were about to change.

It didn’t take him long to convince her that Spring Falls was the perfect place to live in contrast to her current home. Luckily, making historical dolls wasn’t Emma’s only small business venture. Her growing genealogical research enterprise and her love of history was exactly what his brother and new sister-in-law were looking for. The mystery involving both their families tugged on Emma’s soft heart.

And before long…they were both on their way to Spring Falls.

Emma fell in love with the small town and all its charming historical homes. From the moment she walked through Lucas’s front door it felt like home. And the backyard was perfect for the garden of lushly blooming flowers that she’d never had the chance to indulge before.

But more than anything else…she fell for the man who lived there and couldn’t imagine life without him almost from the first moment she saw him.

Perfect for fans of:
A little history…
An ongoing mystery…
And a love story that brings two people together just as they were meant to be…
