About the book...
Rowan Thorpe can be forgiven for living with one foot in the past.
Since having to say goodbye far too young to the future she had planned, moving on still feels a daunting task. So, when historian Connor O’Keefe strides purposefully into her office and life, looking far too handsome for his own good and threatening to undermine the local legends she holds close to her heart, she is more than a little unsettled.
Connor has a past too, and his own reasons to keep his heart under wraps. But when a combination of fate and an unexpected snowstorm mean that Rowan and Connor have all the time in the world to swap stories, it may finally be time for an end and a new beginning.

A little bit forced proximity, and a wee tad second chance at love, the trope combination in this story sets us up for both tender moments, and the potential for a happily-ever-after... even if both parties don't quite believe in them anymore. How come? The simple answer is LIFE. They've both had moments worth remembering, and those they'd much rather forget. In the latter case, the causes were out of their control; fate, and the choices of others, are certainly not things we're ever in the driver's seat of; in the case of the former, there's always room to build more to add to not replace. But I digress...
Though the tale does have a romance element, it's also about community, beliefs, and just how far some will go to make sure a memory sticks. Rowan is a student of life's stories, whereas Connor relies on traceable facts. Together, they're about to uncover something they never knew they were searching for, both personally and professionally, and yet the impact it has in both arenas will touch your heart. You'll get caught up in both their stories, back, current, and future, while finding yourself hoping against hope that the potential you see for them will come true. A great addition to your TBR, and a wonderful way to feed your need to read as well as warm your bookish heart.
