Now that her brother’s best friend has moved back to their quirky small town, will this shy librarian finally find love with her childhood crush?

Emma Sullivan

I really shouldn’t complain. Dream job as a librarian in my hometown? Check. Awesome family? Check. Great group of friends and coworkers? Check. Adorable dog who’s my absolute world? Check. 

Then a patron comes in to file a complaint that a book I purchased for our library is filth her child should never have read. Ugh. And she’s going to the board. Double ugh. And she’s taking to social media to smear our name. Ugh. Ugh. Ugh.

So of course, I head to my brother’s brewery to debrief about my nightmare day and am knocked even farther off kilter when in walks my brother’s best friend, Maxwell Harp. Just as tall, luscious, and dreamy as ever. And far out of my league. 

No matter. Max doesn’t live here anymore and isn’t interested even if he did.

Maxwell Harp

My eyes found Emma the minute I walked into my best friend’s brewery after roughly ten years away. I’ve known the Sullivans since my grandparents took me in when I was eight, twenty-four years ago. I also knew Emma had a crush on me for most of those years, but I wasn’t in a position to do anything about it before.

I am now. I’m back, I have the job I’ve always wanted, and I’m ready for more. 

I just hope Emma is too.

After giving into a night, and morning, of temptation, these childhood friends have to deal with an unexpected consequence. But can a baby on the way convince Maggie to give up her dream of leaving her small town—and the guy she’s always loved—for good? 

Maggie Jameson

Teaching in my hometown is a great gig, but I’m ready to spread my wings and leave behind the smallness of this place. Although my best friend would like me to stay, I’ve had a foot out the door ever since I came back home after college. Then one fateful night with a guy I’ve crushed on for years upends all of those carefully laid plans.

Cole Sullivan

Maggie has been part of my family for most of my life. Sure, she’s my sister’s best friend. And sure, I figured out around ten years ago that she was it for me. But I needed to get my brewery off the ground before beginning a relationship because I knew that anything with Maggie could be the start of something good. Then again, plans can change. A night of tequila and a crazy morning after reminds me that the unexpected is sometimes pretty great too.  If only I can convince Maggie of that.

A single mom trying to raise her kid and get a new bookstore off the ground had zero time for a relationship with the know-it-all brewery owner, but crazier things have happened.

Ivy James

My horoscope neglected to mention anything about freak snowstorms, busted Jeep tires, or sleepovers at a certain brewery owner’s place, but here I am. Goddess knows, I’m thrilled my daughter and I are okay. However, staying at Jake Spencer’s house was not in the plans. Nor was the way he and Addie got along immediately. I’m telling myself that’s fine. We can always use more friends, right? Because I’m not ready for more. My circle is small, mainly Addie and me. My parents embedded that lesson early. Life is busy and I know what my future holds, and it’s not this grumpy brewery owner, that’s for sure.

Jake Spencer

Business at the brewery is good. My family and friends are amazing. The only thing missing is the wife and kids gig I thought I’d have by now. But I never expected that the kid I was ready for might belong to someone else, or that her mother would collect moon water and crystals. Ivy drives me up a wall, but I still want to kiss the hell out of her. The question is, can I find a balance so we can build a life together?

Noah’s a Chicago librarian who moved home to Highland Falls. Elle traded the big city to be closer to her small-town family. When these strangers become friends, can Nate convince Elle to follow her dreams—and take a chance on him?

Elle Robinson

As a kid, stories were what I disappeared into when I wanted to escape reality, but fiction writing doesn’t pay the bills. I’ve moved to Highland Falls to be near my sister and day one has me in the path of a dreamy librarian. He’s by my side when I confided my dreams of writing, and he’s there when everything goes south at work. He seems to be interested in me, but there’s no way my life would ever resemble the fiction I love to write.

Nate Roberts

After working in one of the largest library systems in the world, I moved to one of the smallest. Highland Falls is where my grandparents lived and where my heart feels at home. Moving back seemed like a good idea, but didn’t nothing felt right until I met Elle Robinson, even if my neat and orderly life gets knocked a bit off kilter as a result. I thought I knew what the future held, but now I know for sure. It’s Elle. I just need to help her listen to her heart as well.

Starting over in a small town, relationships aren’t on the horizon. Especially with your neighbor.

Drew Spencer

My future was well mapped out. Since college I’ve dreamed of working with the Hotshots, fighting fires out west as part of a team. But plans are great—until they aren’t. When my dreams crumbled to ash, my brother provided a soft place to land in the small town of Highland Falls where he settled years ago. I’m not looking for anything more than days at the brewery and time with family. And then I take a yoga class taught by Kate Ashley and my plans change. Again.

Kate Ashley 

I thought I had it all: a career I loved and forever with my college sweetheart. But it was all a lie—one I told to myself. So, I picked up my yoga mat and moved to a small town in Illinois to go into business with my best friend. Meeting a Norse God named Drew was not in the cards until he moved in next door and we get snowed in. I mean, what’s a girl to do?

Whoever said grief wasn’t linear knew what they were talking about. For Logan Traub, the last three years have been his own version of hell with one bright spot: Allyson Murphy.

Logan Traub

Three years ago I moved to the small town of Highland Falls. On the outside, I had everything together. Inside… well, I was a mess. My personal life was summed up in one word: empty. My wife was gone. My life upended. Hobbies that had brought me joy before only brought grief.      

And then I became friends with Allyson Murphy. Training for a marathon with her gives me purpose, but it also lets her worm her way into my life, which brings back too many bad memories to count. 

Allyson Murphy

We all have twenty-four hours in a day, right? I think I’ve been shorted just a few. The inheritance my grandma left me was enough to move cross country and buy a café in a town where I knew zero people. Zero. Then Logan Traub and his love of baked goods moved into my life and pushed me to dream of more.      

The man cheered me on as I expanded to a second location. Only problem is, you can’t burn the candle on both ends and not pay a price. Logan helps me see that there is more to life than work and proving my parents wrong by succeeding despite their lack of belief in me.      

When he lets down his walls, all I want to do is be there when he falls. But how can I catch him when I’m on my way down too?

Grace has the life she’s always wanted. So why is everything falling apart?

Grace Russo

I met the love of my life when I was a sophomore in college, and ten years later we’re married with the sweetest baby in the world. I should be living my dream, but the reality is that being a mom to Mia is hard, and Aidan and I are farther apart than ever. Nursing is frustrating and all-consuming, and finding the energy for spicy time with my amazing husband? Forget it. But maybe this is just the way life goes when you’re a parent.

Aidan Russo

Grace is the girl of my dreams. I spotted her in our college library and vowed to spend the rest of my life fixing any problems that crossed her path. What’s going on now, however, has me stumped. I still see the sexy-as-hell, take-charge librarian that she is, but Grace seems to be trapped by her insecurities and doubts. Although I’d walk over fire for her and our daughter, my old worries are starting to creep in: What if she’s doubting us? I need to find some way to convince my wife to lean on me so I can get us back to our beautiful happily-ever-after.

Maeve left her parents at eighteen and hasn’t settled in one spot since. Then she meets Levi and the small town of Highland Falls. Has she finally found a place she wants to call home?

Maeve Murphy

Let’s face it—when they were handing out awards for parenting, mine weren’t even in the room. They had money and status but zero idea what to do with a free spirit like me. When I was eighteen, I hopped into Big Red and hit the road. For the past decade, my truck and I have traveled wherever the wind took me, visiting friends and doing odd jobs. When I got the itch, I moved on. And then along came Levi Traub, and my world turned upside down. What’s a girl to do? 

Levi Traub

How do I begin to describe Maeve? Whirlwind. Infuriating. Snarky. Princess. And oh yeah, drop-dead gorgeous. I am not about to start a relationship when she won’t stick around for long, and my gut can’t be trusted with women anyway. I’ve been burned in the past, and in this case, it’s not like I can get away from the woman if it doesn’t work out—her sister is married to my brother and they’re having a baby. And yet she’s Maeve, and she’s under my skin.
