Synopsis

When Dr. Laurel Kim rents a small-town cottage to finish her PhD, she expects quiet days, predictable routines, and total academic focus. What she doesn't expect is Jack Morgan—the rugged, ex-firefighter next door with a teenage daughter, a home gym, and a very vocal dog.
 
Their worlds collide in the most inconvenient ways. Laurel craves order and peace; Jack lives loud, laughs easily, and isn't used to anyone questioning his way of life. But when he proposes a deal—tutoring his daughter in exchange for fewer 6 a.m. deadlifts—Laurel agrees, thinking it’s temporary.
 
What follows are shared dinners, stormy nights, and a slow-burning connection neither can ignore. Jack’s quiet steadiness draws Laurel out of her head, while Laurel’s strength gives Jack something he didn’t know he was missing. But when Laurel receives a once-in-a-lifetime research offer overseas, everything they’ve built teeters on the edge.
 
Is love a detour in her carefully laid plans... or the destination she never saw coming?
 
Sometimes the greatest discoveries aren’t found in textbooks—but in the heartbeat of the person next door.

    Can the lonely thread of her life be woven into a new and finer pattern? 
     
    When Saoirse Fagan arrives at Drumboe Castle to start her new job as housemaid, she is dismayed to learn that the lord of the house passed away a week prior. Already running from the tragedy that claimed the lives of her family members, Saoirse wanders the road through the darkening glen with nowhere to go until Aileen McCready offers her a lift and a place to stay for the night.  
     
    Aileen's brother, sheep farmer and weaver Owen McCready, is known for his intricate and impeccably woven tweed. But when he's injured, his entire livelihood is endangered. A new--and distracting--mouth to feed adds fuel to the fire, and Owen struggles to keep his family afloat. Though Saoirse is eager to help, even offering to learn the weaving craft, Owen is hesitant to accept aid from this strange young woman, no matter how inexplicably magnetic he finds her.  
     
    But Saoirse is not one to give up easily. She's determined to convince the McCreadys that they need her--perhaps as much as she needs them.
