Tuesday Morgan has learned how to keep everything in balance raising her daughter, running the front desk at a lakeside inn, and guarding her heart from anything that might break it again. But when a weary travel writer checks in for a month-long stay, her carefully ordered life starts to shift in ways she didn't expect.

Ethan Rhodes comes to Willow Bay hoping for quiet and a chance to recover the words he's lost. Love isn't on his agenda. Yet the innkeeper with sharp wit and a determined smile and her curious little girl begin to feel like more than just a stop on the map.

As the town prepares for its summer festival, Tuesday and Ethan are pulled together painting signs, sharing porch talks, dodging glitter thrown by overexcited kids. Slowly, the walls around them begin to give way. But when Ethan is offered a path back to the life he left behind, he has to decide what matters most.

Can they choose each other when walking away feels easier?
