Florence Davenport has spent years climbing the corporate ladder, but she's never felt more lost. When she inherits her aunt's bookshop in tiny Millbrook, Vermont, it seems like the perfect opportunity to clear her head and figure out what comes next. She has no idea how to run a bookstore, but she's determined to honor her aunt's memory.
What she doesn't expect is how quickly the town embraces her. The locals treat her like family from day one, and Jake Morrison—the carpenter who lives next door—keeps showing up with homemade muffins and genuine kindness she's forgotten exists. As Florence stumbles through her new role, she discovers something unexpected: a community that actually values her for who she is, not what she achieves.
But choosing this new life means leaving behind everything she's worked for.
