Maggie Giles has built a life she loves in the heart of Maplewood Grove, a charming town where gossip flows like sweet tea, and neighbors are more like family. As an artist, Maggie sees beauty in the broken, transforming discarded scraps into breathtaking sculptures. But her carefully crafted independence hides a truth she’d rather not face—sometimes, solitude can feel a little too lonely.
Daniel Everett didn’t move to Maplewood Grove to find love. The retired environmentalist left his fast-paced life in Oregon seeking quiet, purpose, and maybe a chance to heal. But his new neighbor, Maggie, shakes up his world with her untamed spirit and her knack for turning chaos into harmony.
When a community project brings them together, Maggie and Daniel must confront the walls they’ve built around their hearts. Can Maggie open her life to someone without losing herself? Will Daniel discover that moving forward doesn’t mean leaving the past behind?
