Emma Rogers Li’ is penniless, hopeless and adrift following her ex-fiance bankrupting their publishing company then fleeing the country. Until a job listing to run a bookstore in the small town of Heart’s Hope Crossing, Vermont winds up in her inbox, that is. Emma may not believe in fate, but as she starts to spend time exploring the quirky small town with her handsome and enigmatic guide, she can’t help but feel like maybe she was meant to end up here after all… Gruff, bearded forest ranger Hunter Hall has his own ideas about fate. Mostly that it should keep its nose out of his business. He’s built a life of solitude for himself, one where he can avoid experiencing heartbreak like his parents did. And besides, local legend about what happens to those who meet at the intersection of Heart and Hope Street is just superstition anyway, worthy only of his best eye rolls. Right?
