Perfect for you if...

  • You love romance with real stakes beyond just the relationship, where external conflict forces characters to choose between ambition and love.
  • You appreciate sapphic romance featuring adult women with established lives and genuine professional pressures.
  • You're drawn to small-town settings and the tension between preserving community and pursuing corporate success.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer romance where the central conflict is purely emotional or misunderstanding-based rather than rooted in genuine competing interests.
  • You want a slowburn setup; this book brings the chemistry fast and spends its energy on the complication that follows.
  • You're looking for romance without a strong business or property-at-stake subplot.

About this book

Emily Janssen, a thirty-five-year-old artist living in Crescent Falls, Vermont, works at the inn owned by her grandmothers while pursuing her art. Despite her friends having summited the local mountain, something has always prevented Emily from doing the same. Diana Devlin, a driven businesswoman from Boston, is close to securing a promotion that will position her to become CEO of her family's hotel chain. During an unexpected encounter with Emily on a mountainside, the two share an intense night together. Emily feels inspired by Diana's confidence to pursue her own dreams, while Diana finds herself wanting more than a single encounter. Their connection deepens until they discover that the hotel Diana has come to acquire is Emily's grandmothers' inn—Emily's home. Emily is determined to prevent a corporate outsider from taking the property away. As their passion grows, the two must navigate the conflict between their personal connection and their opposing interests in the inn's fate.
