Her ex-boyfriend, her job—everything had fallen apart, leaving her struggling to pick up the pieces of her life. She just wanted to find a place she could call home, a place to fit in. One spare. Two flats. Three miles to the next town, according to a weathered sign on the side of the road… Being stranded wasn’t part of the plan. Then again, neither were the flashing red and blue lights in her rearview mirror. Insert one proud, small-town police officer with an obnoxious swagger mixed with a devastating smile, like he’s just found his newest entertainment for the afternoon. An untimely misstep, a rescue she never anticipated, and an offer that leaves Heidi second-guessing everything now. Maybe Fate isn’t just a place you pass through… It’s where everything begins. *** If you’re drawn to small-town coziness, heartfelt friendships, and romances that leave you breathless, the town of Fate is ready to welcome you. And if the Flyboys series made your heart soar with its found family and deep connections, you’ll adore this hidden gem of a town—where love lingers, friendships run deep, and every story feels like coming home.
