Welcome to Ivy Falls A town where hearts heal, secrets surface, and love rides in when you least expect it. Ava Wilder has her dream job at the town's charming little bookshop, hosting the weekly romance book club, creating the shop's whimsical, over-the-top window displays, and running its social media with the enthusiasm only a die-hard romantic can muster. She spends her days surrounded by love stories... yet somehow hasn't managed to find one of her own. Instead, most of her free time is spent with her best friend and his daughter, the two people who feel more like home than anything else. Milo Rivers never planned on taking over his father's hardware store, and he definitely didn't plan on hating the job as much as he does. As a single dad running on caffeine and sheer will, Milo feels completely stuck, and with his daughter Callie getting restless and too young for school, dragging her to the shop every day is becoming impossible. So when Ava casually offers to look after Callie while he works, because she practically lives at his house anyway, it feels like the perfect fix for both of them. At least... until the day Ava needs help filming a simple social media post for the bookshop. One lingering touch, one too-long look, and suddenly the tension between them is impossible to ignore. Now they're left with a choice, stay safely in the comfort of friendship... or risk everything for the possibility of something more.
