One square mile. 150 residents. Zero privacy.
Jen Carter traded her high-pressure career for a stranger’s guest room and a town that never stops watching. She settles into Virginia’s spare room and launches Hearth and Table catering out of a back corner in her best friend, Darcy’s Diner. Jen expects hard work and quiet. She does not expect Trevor Brooks.
Trevor is a 5’11” brick wall of calloused hands and a Route 66 cap pulled low. He rules his construction career with a silence that Jen’s frantic, nonstop energy cannot penetrate. When a collision in a narrow aisle at Bev’s Hardware forces them into the same orbit, the stoic carpenter and the accident-prone chef start a friction neither planned for.
In Clear Creek, the CC Whisperer gossip feed tracks every move on Main Street. Jen’s best friend, Darcy, is already looking for an escape hatch to the city. Trevor is a man who remembers exactly how it feels to be abandoned. Between a walk-in cooler that keeps trapping them together and a town determined to meddle, Jen must decide if she packs her bags or stays to find out.
