Jasmine Grove is too busy chasing a coveted VP title to play house in a crumbling inn her late mother left behind. But when she's forced to travel to Lovett Cove to sign the paperwork in person, she discovers a charming town—and an infuriatingly handsome handyman-lawyer—who might just derail her five-year plan.
River Scott has no intention of falling for a workaholic who can't see the beauty in a quiet life. But when Jasmine literally falls into his arms, he can't ignore the spark—or the hope she stirs inside him.
As Jasmine’s health takes a turn, the woman who never slows down will have to face what truly matters. And maybe—just maybe—come home to love.
Perfect for fans of Robyn Carr and Tessa Bailey and readers who swoon for opposites-attract dynamics, small-town charm, and a heaping, delicious bite of a cinnamon roll hero.
