Maplewood Hearts

When city girl Lily Bennett returns to the sleepy lakeside town of Maplewood to settle her late grandmother’s estate, she expects only nostalgia—not a second chance at love. But her plans unravel the moment she crosses paths with Noah Carter, the rugged carpenter who never left. Once childhood friends, they now find themselves on opposite sides of a renovation plan that could change Maplewood forever. Between sunlit afternoons by the water and late-night confessions under the stars, old feelings resurface and new sparks light up the summer air. Yet Lily must decide if her future lies in the city she built her dreams in—or the town, and the man, that feel like home.
