This is Book 1 in the Story Lake series. The next book in the series is Mistakes Were Made.

Hazel Hart was once a successful romance novelist, until heartbreak sends her straight into writer’s block. With a looming deadline and the threat of losing her publishing deal, she retreats from the world, unsure how to move forward.

In a desperate attempt to find inspiration, Hazel impulsively buys a historic home online and leaves Manhattan behind for the quiet town of Story Lake, Pennsylvania. But her fresh start quickly unravels. The house is falling apart, the town is struggling, and her new life comes with unexpected responsibilities she never signed up for.

Enter Campbell Bishop, a gruff but undeniably compelling contractor who becomes both the solution to her housing problem and the spark she desperately needs. As Hazel throws herself into small-town life, she finds herself surrounded by quirky locals, unexpected friendships, and a growing sense of belonging.

What begins as research for her next book soon starts to blur into reality. As Hazel rebuilds her home and her creative confidence, she also begins to question whether this unexpected chapter in her life might be her own love story.
