Every great story hides a secret. Hers just moved in upstairs.
Grace Teague is dedicated to preserving her family’s legacy on Brookwell Island, maintaining the downtown boutique she inherited. And she’s making the most of every asset, even renting out the apartment over the store.
Unfortunately, her new tenant is Calvin Lynwood, the man she left behind. Her college flame is right upstairs, close enough to remind her exactly what she gave up for her family.
Calvin can’t think of a better way to show Grace he’s become the stable, secure man she deserves—and ideas are his specialty. In fact, he’s been hired to dream up ways to expand Brookwell’s annual music festival.
But Grace is also on the planning committee, and she’s determined to protect the traditions that set her community apart. Sparks fly as they clash over the future of the event, igniting the heat still simmering between them.
Dazzling kisses aside, Grace worries she’s in for heartbreak when Calvin’s dreams inevitably outgrow her home town. But Calvin's determined to show her that choosing him doesn't mean losing everything else—and that some second chances are worth the risk.
Curl up with Grace’s Secret Chapter, a small-town romance where love gets a second chance to rewrite a happy ever after.
