So, when rumors swirl about a new AHL team landing in our tiny town of Mapleton, both our ears perk up. Noah gets a tryout. I get public humiliation after mistaking the team owner for the janitor.

Again.

Soon, Zane is the only comfort on this solo trip. Or is it even solo anymore?

Because he joins me on my couples’ wine tasting, snowmobile excursion, and cooking class. He even goes tubing with me—though he will deny it if you ask.

Savannah Cade’s dreams are coming true. The Claire Donovan, editor-in-chief of the most successful romance imprint in the country, has requested to see the manuscript Savannah’s been secretly writing while working as an editor herself—except at her publishing house, the philosophy is only highbrow works are worth printing and commercial fiction, particularly romance, should be reserved for the lowest level of Dante’s inferno. But when Savannah drops her manuscript during a staff meeting and nearly exposes herself to the whole company—including William Pennington, new publisher and son of the romance-despising CEO herself—she races to hide her manuscript in the secret turret room of the old Victorian office.

As their notes back and forth start to fill up the pages, however, Savannah finds him not just becoming pivotal to her work but her life. There’s no doubt about it. She’s falling for her mystery editor. If she only knew who he was.
