If she misses her next deadline itās The End.Desperate for inspiration, Hazel impulse-buys a historic home online and flees Manhattan to tiny Story Lake, PA. Upon her dramatic arrivalāinvolving an incident with a bald eagleāshe discovers the charm of her new home may have been slightly exaggerated.The house is a wreck and the town is struggling after their biggest employer shut down. Also, since her raccoon-infested home came with a seat on the town council our introverted heroine is stuck with a front row seat to all the small-town shenanigans.But Hazel isnāt worried. Not since all six-feet-three inches of grouchy contractor Campbell Bishop slapped a bandage on her forehead and unintentionally inspired the heck out of her. Thereās only one thing to do: Hire Cam and his equally gorgeous brothers to renovate her new spider museumā¦erā¦house.Okay two things. A fake date for āresearch purposesā will really put her work-in-progress on track. Before Hazel knows it, sheās writing a romance novel and living one.
