Small Town Secrets
When a long-lost love letter surfaces, two hearts get a second chance.
When interior designer Gretchen Ryan's marriage crumbles, she returns to her small hometown of Kingston—and discovers a love letter she never knew existed. Written ten years ago by James Parker, her high school sweetheart, the letter changes everything.
Now a divorced carpenter, James hires Gretchen to help renovate the town hall for the annual Valentine's Day dance. Working side by side, old sparks reignite and buried feelings resurface. But Gretchen's divorce isn't final, and James has been hurt before.
Can they find the courage to trust in second chances, or will the timing be wrong again?
