The story

Ten chapters. One bookshop. Two people who keep getting in each other's way.

Nora inherits Maple Street Books and plans to sell it quickly. The man sent to assess its value has other ideas — and so, apparently, does the town.

The complication

She planned to be gone in a week. The town had other plans. So did he.

Nora drives into Millhaven on a Tuesday expecting to sign some papers, hand over the keys, and be back in the city by Friday. The bookshop on Maple Street has been in her family for thirty years. It is also, according to the estate solicitor, running at a significant loss.

Will is the consultant her cousin hired to appraise the property. He arrives with a clipboard and a reputation for being efficient. He does not expect the shop to be extraordinary. He does not expect Nora, either.

The town of Millhaven, it turns out, has feelings about the bookshop. So does Nora — feelings she was not planning to discover until she started helping a stranger understand what makes a place worth keeping.
